Hello world!

I am a regular linux user. I generally simply post replies or boost things I feel needs more attention.

I forget how to do it in GNOME but in KDE if you click the battery icon, and KDE is able to affect the power profile, there will be a slider to choose whether you want for example power safe balanced or power mode.
I looked it up and it should be in the power secyion of the settings app. There also might be a button if you click the top right area. I try attacking some screens I found.

Wonder if it's a Linux kernel scheduling issue? Like you're in some sort of power saving mode in the profile?
I thought of this mostly because you said that it fixes itself and OBS is there. OBS is a decently intensive application so the power profile might increase the clock of the CPU when OBS is running
Opening a terminal and using a command to watch the CPU frequency of each individual core might be an idea to see if this is the case.
Though I also could be completely wrong

I would guess that it is probably a driver thing. As in custom roms break apart the official roms once available and extract the drivers needed to run that device. Things like drivers can be kernel sensitive and may not work properly on different kernels.
I know graphene os definitely does this, where they include a lot of the proprietary blobs in the official rom needed for pixel specific functionality.

My understanding is that kernel is part of an entire signed OS image. Since the kernel is part of a greater, immutable signed image, you can't just change a part of that image since it is cryptographically signed.
If you really want a newer kernel on the device, then I guess you would just have to make a custom ROM with a more up-to-date kernel. That or you can use such a custom ROM as if one is available.
At least this is my understanding of it.

Given how fast CPUs have become, I honestly think that speed should no longer be a main concern for most people and Intel should probably not market processors based on speed alone. In fact, I'd argue that most people's systems are probably over-specced for what they actually use.
I'd much rather these chip manufacturers actually focus on things like security and stability and market that instead. Though I guess it's easier to market raw performance.
