My battery used to drain in windows as well but looks like in mint also it is same or even more right now. I assumed it should be less. What can I do fix this pls

in the systray on Mint, there should be a power profiles icon. set it to 'powersave' when on battery

#

can also check Settings: Power management for putting system into 'suspend' (sleep) sooner when idle

#

and for turning screen off sooner when idle: (see screensaver in Mint start menu search)

#

can also run the terminal command inxi -Cxx every once in a while to keep an eye on the average cpu clock frequency

#

note its minimum, and maximum capable values.
