-If you wish to make this change permanent, you need to create a special text file.+In OpenSuSE, the quickest way to set the CPU Governor is through YaST.Follow these steps:
  
-Using your console text editor of choice create the following file (for this example, I will use nano which is pre-installed with openSUSE).+  - Open System Settings. 
 +  - Under 'System Administration' click on 'YaST'. 
 +  - Type in the administrator password to open YaST. 
 +  - Under 'System' click on 'Boot Loader.' 
 +  - Click on 'Kernel Parameters.' 
 +  - In the text box that is labelled 'Optional Kernel Command Line Parameter' copy and paste the following text AFTER any existing text that may be there. DON'T replace any text that is already in the text box. ''cpufreq.default_governor=performance'' 
 +  - Click 'OK' 
 +  - Close YaST. 
 +  - Reboot your computer to ensure that the CPU governor is working as expected (use the RealtimeConfigQuickScan application to check).
  
-''sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/cpupower.service''

----- 
-[Unit] 
  
-Description=CPU powersave
