How to save battery power for every Linux system so that you could use your laptop longer without charging
Base Theory
- Decrease cpu frequency
- Turn off GPU
- Turn off other devices when not used
For general Linux system
sudo apt install tlp
sudo systemctl enable tlp
sudo apt install powertop
sudo systemctl enable powertop
sudo apt install cpupower-gui
sudo cpupower-gui
# use cpupower-gui to change the cpu frequency to minimum value
For gnome
sudo apt install tlp
sudo systemctl enable tlp
sudo apt install powertop
sudo systemctl enable powertop
Install cpu-power-manager
and change the cpu-frequency to a minimum value:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/945/cpu-power-manager
For PopOS
sudo apt install powertop
sudo systemctl enable powertop
Install cpu-power-manager
and change the cpu-frequency to a minimum value:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/945/cpu-power-manager
From top-right-corner, from power-section, set graphics-mode to compute-graphics
and power-strategy to battery-life
