Question about Linux distors

Is there any Linux distro ( doesn't matter which ) or linux like OS ( Steam OS ) that allows to configure such options ?

I'm very interested in such options :
- maximum processor frequency (MHz)
- system cooling policy ( active or passive )
- maximum processor state ( percentages )
- minimum processor state ( percentages )

Percentages are very convenient for me, I like to change them when I'm gaming or do something else, same about MHz and of course I like to be able to change system cooling policy.

Firstly, SteamOS 3 isn't "linux like", it is a linux distribution based on Arch linux.

Secondly, pretty much any linux distribution can/does use CPU governor to be able to control CPU performance. Yes you can configure CPU frequency scaling (both in frequency range/limits and percentage), processor state, turbo (enable/disable and percentage), etc.

You can install the CPU power GUI (if it's not included by default in your chosen distribution) to have a GUI interface to manage the CPU governor settings.

In regards to "system cooling policy"; that you'll typically need to do a bit more work to setup something to poll the relevant thermal sensors via lm_sensors and then dynamically modify the CPU governor settings.

Thanks a lot for the clarification !
That's very nice to hear that I will be able to configure such options on Linux, they are pretty important to me.
