Hey anons, what are some ways to increase battery life on your system (besides manually changing the scaling governor on your CPUs) without needing to install 3rd party packages such as TLP? I want to know because I am curious + maybe I could get some knowledge for it.

Unironically, install Windows. The GNU/Linux desktop is trash when it comes to battery life.

1. Reducing the maximum CPU clock speed with this

2. Using ThrottleStop on Windows or intel-undervolt on Linux for undervolting (available on 4th-9th gen laptop CPUs)
3. Disabling the discrete graphics on battery (if you didn't make sure it never gets enabled for some reason)

Macbook is not needed btw
