@alavi @frameworkcomputer probably some level of power optimization daemons like powertop or similar @niko @frameworkcomputer @frameworkcomputer its fascinating that of all these tested distros, ubuntu is the one that performed best @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org Pretty sure that will still get better with the power-profiles-daemon patches + the patch to prevent the CPU being stuck in 400Mhz states when using epp. It comfortably lasts me a whole day now, when I do easy tasks (so not compiling stuff). @sjuvonen @frameworkcomputer @fedora yeah, that's a bit strange, I'd like to know if there are optimizations that I should apply from Ubuntu. @sjuvonen @frameworkcomputer @fedora I've had some pretty bad battery life myself since switching on my laptop, been wondering why. @frameworkcomputer I'd really love to know what Ubuntu is doing differently. We have a lot to work on in Fedora when it comes to power efficiency, apparently @gastonrampersad @frameworkcomputer doesn't list distro versions. Doesn't say what kernels. Distros generally futz with their kernel and tuning as well. So could be anything. But generally expect things to improve with time no matter what you pick |
@frameworkcomputer
What is making ubuntu so much more power efficient than the rest?
