Undervolting on Bazzite for an Intel CPU?

Heya, I'm fairly new to Linux but I'm liking it a lot. My issue is that in the laptop I installed Bazzite if not undervolted it will go to dangerously high temps while playing demanding games like Elden Ring.

In windows this is managed by undervolting the CPU with throttlestop, but I don't know how to do the same on linux, doing some googling I found this https://github.com/kitsunyan/intel-undervolt but I'm having trouble installing it I think because of Bazzite being an immutable distro?

Not sure how to work around that.

here's the message I get when I try to ./configure && make && sudo make install

Enable systemd: false
Enable elogind: false
Enable OpenRC: false

bindir: /usr/bin
sysconfdir: /etc

gcc -o intel-undervolt config.o measure.o main.o modes.o power.o scaling.o stat.o undervolt.o util.o -lm

Solution
you can build that in a distrobox container
