Hello. I just want to ask, I already tried search many resources, but I still can’t find a way to reduce battery drain while sleep on Ubuntu on Dell laptop.

I seen that it use S0ix, the new standard that many manufacturer use but when sleep it drains a lot battery, in just 6 hours the battery gone 0.

Any help is appreciated. This is company laptop and it requires me use ubuntu (I don’t like it but I don’t have options to changes OS/distro).

Thanks

    Yeah, and now billions of programs have to be recompiled, if not rewritten. At least one person’s workflow will break. There’s a difference between making a Personal Computer and a locked down console that doesn’t run games all that well. Apple is doing the latter, by pushing architectures that lock people into their OSes.

      @yum13241 but don’t programs that run on Linux Arm also have to be recompiled?

      Don’t misunderstand me, I think there may be cause for Apple to be forced to open their ecosystem more, but operating systems are always unique unto themselves.

        No one is forced to use ARM to have a good Linux system. You are forced to use ARM to have a good Mac.

          @yum13241 no one forces you to buy a Mac. You get that most people who buy a Mac are likely to be okay with being in the ecosystem just like most people who use Linux know it is not going to run all the Windows apps. I agree that there should be a more open approach to these things, but in an economic system that prizes competition and profit above all things, closed systems tend to become the norm to distinguish them form their competitors.

                After you spend hours compiling it lol. Also, let’s not forget that macOS is generally unfriendly to workflows that require more than one window active. Either you waste tons of space on the dock, menu bar, and title bar, or you maximize it and in the case of browsers, can’t change tabs.

                  @yum13241 I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve used many open source programs on macOS, already compiled and already packaged to work on Mac’s. What version of macOS are you referring to, 7?
