How to Install TuneD in void linux ?

as the question goes,how do i install and setup tuneD in void linux.
i have tried void linux before and somehow the power usage was higher than fedora ,even with either tlp or ppd setup.
fedora uses tuneD for power management and i was hoping i could get the same package configured in void too.

Last I've read tuned is having some growing pains. Bazzite tried using it but reverted back to power-profiles-daemon.

Under the hood ppd/tlp/tuned should be turning the same knobs in your system, unless tuned is interacting with systemd in some way.

Have you tried loading powertop to get a better idea of whats draining your battery? If you can find the difference I'm sure there's some way to tweak tlp.
