The biggest question for me is this: is it a kernel issue that I am only seeing two governors, when other OSs see 4?

Since then I've tried several Linux distros, each of them as usual, with some issue to separate itself from the rest. I have a new Lenovo Yoga ultrabook and want to ruin LInux on. I have been through 3 or 4. So I thought, "Let's try Fedora again."

This laptop is running an Intel i7 Mobile processor that touts a high CPU freq, but this is only in a "turbo" mode. Other distros have picked up at least four, on this same machine. What are the limitations I am facing here? Kernel, modules, or the inavailability of certain packages, like Jupiter, which I am starting to like quite a lot?

>From what I heard Jupiter isn't being developed actively anymore. Most of the things it touted to fix have been incorporated upstream. The only laptop battery saver tools, supposedly, I use are TLP and Thermal Daemon. And you shouldn't be messing up with tools like cpufreq unless you know what you are doing.
