I was playing games on cachyos instalation on my intel integrated laptop, and the performance was bad. But after I installed thermald and used systemctl to enable it my performance was instantly better

Hi,

I dont think this is really the "to go" solution for all laptops. I also wonder, why should thermald improve the performance?

Linux thermal daemon ([thermald](https://packages.debian.org/thermald)) monitors and controls temperature in laptops, tablets PC with the latest Intel sandy bridge and latest Intel CPU releases. Once the system temperature reaches a certain threshold, the Linux daemon activates various cooling methods to try to cool the system.

It seems, that this just increases the cooling, as soon it gets too hot. I think looking into lpmd would be the better idea.
