sorry for probably a noob question but will ask anyway. I cant change cpu frequency, if i try it reverts back to 100%. can change clock boost however

gnome version = 42.3
cpu = AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H with Radeon™ Graphics × 16
I think I am using newest kernel
not sure what policykit is

Sorry for the late answer:

This is currently expected for Ryzen CPUs as the current frequency scaling in the kernel is discrete and sometimes only allowing 3 or 2 settings. Try dragging the slider really low and it should eventually change. If not, your CPU maybe completely lacks frequency scaling support in the Linux kernel (this does not mean it can't do that, but that it's not implemented under Linux). We will try to make this more clear in the UI by adding some notches to the slider and only accepting valid values. But this might take some time to get done. It's on the roadmap but don't expect it for the next release.
