Battery saving on linux
I've tried pretty much everything, and found nothing better than powerplan. Absolutely the best one yet. Doesn't have a GUI yet, but it is very simple to install and configure. Default is more than enough. So, basically git clone[repo] or just download the zip file and extract it. Open a terminal there and run these three commands

How do I reduce power consumption in linux to match windows?
I might be a little late but here's what I've been using to get lower power usage. It's very similar to what window's powerplan does, and it gives you plenty options plus some extra features in regards to CPU power configuration. I guess your mileage may vary depending con system components/drivers but I get consistently lower power usage than on Windows 10 on my laptop, albeit with an Intel CPU. I hope this doesn't feel as shameless promotion or something as I wrote the program, I just feel confident in recommending it as an option.

Increase battery life in linux
This is a one man project. It's been out for a couple of day. We are only two people testing it. The battery life is now miles better than what I had on other measures (including TLP and power profiles daemon).

Best Power Management: Fedora 38 + Kernel 6.2.15 + TLP?
They definately do conflict, it was discussed back when ppd first arrived: https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/issues/564

Power State management best practices?
If you're certain your GPU has deeper power saving states than P8, I would start by checking why it's not using them. Maybe tlp, powertop or nvtop (or their documentation) can help.

I think linux mint may be consuming my laptops battery faster.
TLP ...found in Mint Repository etc &. https://linrunner.de/tlp/ combine tlp with : https://slimbook.es/en/tutoriales/aplicaciones-slimbook/520-slimbook-battery-4-application-to-optimize-your-laptop-s-battery It is a gui frontend for tlp They work really well together

Ridiculously low battery life on brand-new laptop, could it be Ubuntu?
Don't discount Vivaldi being the culprit, either. It uses many more resources than the average browser because it uses JS for its entire UI, unlike regular Chromium. My guess is though you might want to look at TLP. https://github.com/linrunner/TLP

The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition
Interesting. Do we have a concrete reason why, e.g., TLP[0] falls short of the power management features offered on other OSes?
