-Powertop usage:
To start powertop use "sudo powertop"
For the first calibration use "sudo powertop --calibrate", note that it takes a few minutes and during
that time the screen may go (it does) black for a few minutes too, just let it run.
To set everything to "good" do "sudo powertop --auto-tune",
to make the auto-tune start at boot refer to the Arch wiki or "how to create a sysemd service"
Note that in order to apply changes and stuff you have to leave it running for some time to let it
take its measures and stuff
