When my Linux tells me I have 17 hours of 🔋 remaining but doesn't even last 2 hours is funny.

    If you use GNOME it is not surprising that it drains your battery.

    Might want to switch power profile & cpu governor.. :)

    There might be some cpu & chipset specific optimizations you're missing out on.

    Disable unused services, like Bluetooth.

    Also reducing monitor brightness helps.

    For me that depends on what I'm running. It can say I have hours left when I've got nothing open and then I start working with softwares and the time goes down drastically. Maybe the same case with you?

    @lotd oh man you remind of that. Ever since I stopped Android kernel development (actually tweaking can't count it as a development) I stopped playing my Linux box kernel, better get back to the job 😀
