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?

Intel is really awful with this. AMD is better but slowly getting to Intel levels.

I don't follow, I thought AMD was less efficient. You say it's the other way around but it's getting worse? Or I'm reading it wrong?

AMD has been far more efficient at load for years

Hasn't been the case since Zen launched in 2017.

Although it took them 2-3 more years on laptop to overtake intel in efficiency, because of less sophisticated sleep stuff.
