hey people, quick question
my laptop has a 60.87 wh battery, which isn't a small battery per say but due to my i7-14700HX and my rtx 5060 laptop gpu
it doesn't last an hour browsing firefox, i turned on integrated graphics and it added like 20 minutes, then i thought about undervolting just to find out it's bios locked, which is dissapointing because that was my best option
and before you say it neeeeed the laptop to last a good while while i'm outside and not plugged in because i'm studyingg computer engineering which requires a good bit of laptop in college
any help on what to do?

perhaps there are tips specific to your laptop online--you could search that up

#

it would be odd if the oem os drained battery and nobody complained about it until just now

# still ivy windows, right?

i've been a linux user for like 3 years but it came with windows and i need some apps for school that i haven't gotten to installing on linux yet so i just use windows for now

#

but ihave fedora dual booted

#

although i prefer arch kde i just wanted to give fedora a go

Didn't really see much exept for that the discharge at vivaldi and discord opened with powersiving mode on is 30 watts

#

oh what

#

does battery life significantly increase on idle

#

yeah i did everthing and it's 24 watts

#

including killing the gpu btw

#

i think you're thinking of 'idol'/'ideal'

abstract nova
#

oh sorry hold on

#

i'll kill everything

#

and power saving and battery conservation both on

#

with 60 hz and brightness low

#

literally everything at hand

#

just for a 20 watt drain with absolutly no usage
