I don’t have the time for this that I used to and Bazzite has otherwise been running fine. Both of them had other distros on that had the same issues and Bazzite might become my daily driver for the future main machine and otherwise worked flawlessly.
I am using TLP and powertop. On two devices actually. And both of them are simply much worse than the MacBook I have at work. Thus my question to start this thread. There must be controllers, main boards or something that are better or worse at drain during sleep or being turned off
It’s also a matter of the drain I experience. Even when shutting down my Carbon X1 Gen 7 it loses all battery within a week. It’s simply a terrible device to have lying around. The battery is empty when I pick it up more often than not. Either sleep drained it within a day or I shut it down a week ago and the battery is flat either way 😢
That sounds promising. So maybe once I find the right device it might simply be a matter of tweaking a bit more than on the old ones I never bothered to optimize
I’m aware of the Nvidia limitations and thus quite interested int an AMD APU. The Ryzen AI series looks promising. And while it’s a quirky form factor I found good reports on the Flow Z13 with an AI Max 395 running Linux. But no one talks about sleep/hibernation in their reviews .
Thanks for your input! What’s the issue with Asus? Their Rog series has some really nice hardware it seems and might be something I can actually walk into a store and try in person.
What about Lenovo? As an owner of two ThinkPads and with friends happy about their Legion devices that’s the one other manufacturer I have on my radar regarding “might be available in a store in my country”.
I kinda want something powerful to last me while. I’m willing to spend 2k+ euros if I get a great device that’ll keep me happy for a long time 😉 I haven’t purchased computer hardware in several years
Also: I think the idea behind Framework is amazing and have been following their offering quite a bit Never read anything specifically about sleep though.
I didn’t want to get into this debate here, but I’m not buying from companies headquartered in a fascist dictatorship if I can at all avoid it 😉 FYI: my favorite manufacturers I’m eyeing are Tuxedo, Schenker and Asus.
I live in Denmark but felt even more at ease visiting Taiwan. Their bike locks are a polite reminder and not real security and yet it seems to work.
Pretty sure my dad’s secondary desktop I used for my first Linux install had a 1.2 GHz Duron or something and 512 MB. I’m pretty sure I got that funky compiz fusion 3D-cube desktop running on there 😅
