Hello everyone,
I have been running Trisquel on my laptop for a few months and while the performance is great;, I have noticed that battery life could be better. Since Trisquel is a lightweight distro.., I expected it to use less power compared to other distributions but I still want to maximize battery life as much as possible.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to improve battery efficiency in Trisquel: ??
Are there any other tweaks I am missing: ?? I would love to know what others in the community do to squeeze extra battery life from their Trisquel laptops !! I have also read this resource https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/optimizing-battery-time-flutter/ it helped me a little but now I am looking for more tips.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
With Regards,
Derek Theler
Hi Derek,
How about TLP? It is good free software!
"TLP saves laptop battery power on Gnu/Linux without the need to understand every technical detail."

You can also check the descrption in Synaptic and download it from there if you prefer to use graphical tools.
Have you used TLP, Sunny Day? If yes, what is your experience with it? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I use it and can recommend it. My battery is quite old and has benefited a lot since I started using tlp, have a read on their documentation, it explains it all a lot better than I could.
