TLP is often no longer the best choice since firmware provides power profiles instead. That's why we are removing TLP as the default option. We may want to bring back TLP to some old hardware if it makes sense i.e. certain thinkpad modules.

Actually, ppd also has been superceded by tuned in many distros.
See Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/TunedAsTheDefaultPowerProfileManagementDaemon

tuned is fully compatible with ppd profiles, so it's a drop-in compatible but also a superset.

AMD Linux laptop/desktop team also recommends tuned over ppd.

Happy to switch to tuned once it lands in nixpkgs.
