have you done the TLP stuff?
first make sure you don't have power profiles daemon because this conflicts with tlp
you can turn it off with
install tlp with
and edit the config at /etc/tlp.conf to optimise your battery
the instructions are in the file iirc
basically set your CPU settings (I use powersave on my intel non-framework), and maybe have a look at the radeon graphics things (I don't have an amd system so I can't say much about this)
and refresh your config with
sudo tlp start
if you also get powertop (sudo apt install powertop) you can monitor your power consumption in that. (sudo powertop)
If you can't be bothered with this, I think you can also just install power profiles daemon but I like tlp better because it gives you much finer control over your system
Okay, installed both. Are there any specific config entries I should be looking at in tlp.conf?
I think the most important ones are:
(I haven't used these myself because I don't have a radeon card, but it should improve battery life for you):
I had to set USB_AUTOSUSPEND=0 because otherwise my usb devices kept turning off, but you might not need this.
Thank you so much! I've uncommented all of these.
did it help?
I love when people are this helpful to each other. <3
