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
