I’ve installed TLP on my Lenovo ThinkBook laptop and was wondering if there are additional steps I can take to extend the battery life when using the laptop unplugged.
Could you please share more tips and tricks for maximizing battery life on Linux laptops?
powertop is a cool tool that can analyze your machine and provide a list of suggested power optimizations
Fancy. TIL, thanks!
This is the way. You need to check whether CPU and package are mostly in the highest C-states they can be. If not, you’ve got a task or IO device causing a lot of wasted power.
Power…top… of course
