  • Battery saving on linux
    5 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 15 Nov 2021
    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?
    4 projects | /r/linuxhardware | 27 Oct 2021
    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
    8 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 12 Oct 2021
    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).
