Trouble setting up undervolting for t480 from inside distrobox
I'm trying to undervolt my thinkpad t480 laptop using this program reccomended by reddit: https://github.com/erpalma/throttled
It has instructions for installing on Silverblue, but relies on layering so I want to try installing it by way of distrobox first. The arch instructions were listed first, they seemed simple, and arch sounds like a useful container to keep around anyway, so I started there. After some fumbling, I figured out I needed to enable systemd stuff, so I deleted the container and recreated it making sure to flip the switch for "use innit system" in BoxBuddy this time. After that it seems to have installed correctly, but when I run "systemctl is-enabled throttled" in the main terminal I get "not-found." When I run "systemctl is-active throttled" in the Arch distrobox terminal I get "failed." What am I doing wrong here?
I've only been on linux for a little over a month and I'm a total noob when it comes to containers, but I aspire to be a dev. I appreciate technical answers and want to learn best practices.
