From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

If you're running AMD, TLP won't help as much as running a 6.6+ kernel with the proper amd-pstate kernel module running. 6.8 takes it even further.

Damn, I looked at this thread hoping to optimize my server idle power draw.

AMD 2700X, and Debian Bookworm kernel back ports just got to 6.6. Hopefully this doesn't break my ZFS 😅

I too wanted to rock Debian with ZFS. Had to go Ubuntu due to better ZFS support.

To be fair, of you just wait until the ZFS package is released with the corresponding kernel, everything works great. Just no unattended upgrades to the kernel on the back ports channel and you are golden!
