>"battery life for linux sucks">switch to linux>battery lasts three times longer than on windows 11Where did this retarded idea that battery life is better on Windows come from?
>>107134072It's just Microshill propaganda. 99% of the memes about Linux haven't been true since the 90s, but Microsoft wants people to keep believing them so they'll be afraid to drift from the Windows cattle farm.
>>107134072linux did cpu frequency scaling until year 2007 ish?
>>107134201there are multiple images full of evidence showing history of this/thread
>>107134318Do you mean evidence of Linux having bad battery life, or evidence of Microsoft shilling?
How would one optimize battery life on a laptop with dgpu? I saw that there is nvidia prime where you basically choose the apps manually which run on the dgpu, the problem I have with this is that when I want the dgpu to overtake the igpu for the entire DE and apps e.g. when connecting an external monitor, this switch doesn't automatically happen. I only have this work when the hdmi cable is connected since boot. Using arch and gayland btw.
>>107134072I have a minisforum v3 and the battery goes from 3-4 hours in windows to fucking 8 in Linux. Its insane.it also doesn't have that hybrid sleep shit that wakes your laptop up inside your bag to run a windows update.>you can just--if i have to fuck around with services and registry entries and whatever the fuck else just to trick windows into thinking i'm a large corporation just to get it to not fucking update in my goddamn bag then it fucking sucks dudes.
>>107134072What's that program on the bottom left? I want to be like Lain!!!
>>107134452As far as I know this is a retarded windows issue where if your laptop was being charged before you put it to sleep, and then unplug it it will still think its connected to a charger and thus run whatever it wants in the background. I always unplug my laptop, wait like 10 seconds and then put it to sleep and I never had the heating up in bag issue again. Also activate battery saver to run always, this means it will be on even at 100% (not when plugged to a charger obviously) and stop a bunch of garbage windows background shit from running
>>107134377>Microsoft shillingthere's plenty of images with more recent examples but this one shows just how far back they've been doing this shit
>>107134636No; hybrid sleep literally wakes up the laptop to check for updates. Its a "feature".
>>107134452>if i have to fuck around with services and registry entries and whatever the fuck else just to trick windows into thinking i'm a large corporation just to get it to not fucking update in my goddamn bag then it fucking sucks dudes.That's what ultimately pushed me into finally switching to Linux - if I have to do a bunch of tinkering and hackery to make modern Windows less unstable/invasive/tedious, I figured that I might as well put that energy into getting the hang of Linux instead since it'd be similar type and degree of work on a modern distro.

>>107135352You're entirely right! I'm a man! I've been ever since this fateful surgery! Thanks, kind ally!
>>107135426woag,,,, your hot,,,,,,,
>>107134072Almost all of the Windows apologists' talking points come from like 10+ years ago.
>>107134072If you make up every benchmark, you can get infinite battery life.
>>107134072From people who were around back when Linux consumed 10x more watts than Windows on the same hardware and nobody knew how to fix it.If things have gotten better in the mean time I'm very happy to hear it. (I haven't used Linux on a laptop in like 10 years)
