It's related to bug #835757 which add ´--force' option in the openrc init.d file. With this option, configuration files are omitted, from man page : --adaptive Use DPTF adaptive tables when present. This will ignore thermald config via xml files. As it can be beneficial for certain users, remove it is not the right solution. Is it possible to ad a variable with something like a /etc/conf.d/thermald file to set it ? $ emerge --info sys-power/thermald Portage 3.0.38.1 (python 3.10.8-final-0,
