Is there a version of ThinkVantage Power Manager for Ubuntu or Fedora?
I searched everywhere and couldn't find any.

Thanks!!! :)

Well, that should have given you an answer of your question :) No, unfortunately, there isn´t Lenovo Power Manager for Linux the way most Linux ThinkPadders would probably like to. However, there are other utilities for Linux that might help improving battery life if that is your aim.

has anyone tested PowerTOP (https://01.org/powertop/) vs TLP (http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-lin ... ement.html)
I am using arch linux with tlp and it doesn't seem to be bad...although I don't have "power profiles" to choose
Lenovo Thinkpad X230/12.5' IPS/i5-3320M/256Gb SSD/16Gb DDR3/Intel HD4000
Lenovo Thinkpad T410s/i5-560M/256Gb SSD/4Gb DDR3/Intel HD3000
