« on: May 29, 2023, 11:59:30 pm »Gentlemen,There are some things that may look minor but play an important role in our battery lifespan. The first one is tuning off unused system features. This includes (but is not restricted to) WiFi, Bluetooth, VGA ports, ethernet, and more. All these ports drain energy from the battery, and some devices even have hardware buttons to disable them. If buttons are not available, we can disable their drivers, as described in the next section. Moreover, we can also hibernate instead of suspending/sleeping our system. This means suspending to disk instead of suspending to RAM memory so that the battery spends no energy.
How long does the battery charge lasts using Linux? I can barely use Linux for six hours before the battery is depleted. I don't know if clock scaling works (the system reports the clock changes), and it seems that core disabling works, because some apps become sluggish. But both actions don't seem to make any difference on battery charge consumption. Disabling CODI on Android allows me to use Cosmo for almost three days with one charge, with moderate use.
