Yes, the title is correct, I’m switching to Ubuntu. Don’t you hate snaps and GNOME? Yes, but I always say change your Linux install to what you want. Don’t like something? Change IT!

  1. I always thought that people were complaining too much when it comes to Ubuntu. I have been using a couple of distros but every time I come back to Ubuntu. It works for me and that's fine.

  2. The only thing I don't like about Ubuntu is snap. If they fix what makes snap slow or just witch to flatpak in my opinion Ubuntu could be the best distro for desktop.

  3. Interesting, there was a moment you didn't answered a question of mine in one of your live chats, just because it was about Ubuntu, just skimmed over and skipped the question.

  4. As another thing for laptops that i use is the autocpufreq app
    I use it as a snap because it was plug and play but you do you.
    On battery on my 6700HQ it goes down to 900mhz at idle. While without it off it turboed indefinitely.
    It definitely extended battery by about 1 hour.

  5. Has anyone tried this as well in conjunction with tlp or auto-cpufreq, limiting frequency of the CPU to half the speed? If so, does it lower consumption significantly further?

  6. how do I get that same exact terminator coloring. I'm using zsh. where it says titus in grey, then light blue then small green, then medium blue and the round edges? is there another video where this is covered?

  7. My laptop does 2.97W. I think the things that made the most difference for me was turning off nvidia support entirely when I built the kernel and the system. And the next best thing is a program called laptop-mode-tools.
    I get amazing battery life on my laptop on Linux compared to windows. Double actually.

  8. hey Chris, thanks! The last few days, for the life of me I couldn't remember (getting old) that handy terminal command which gives you system info and bingo – <neofetch> right there in the thumbnail!

  9. Started with Ubuntu – > Linux Mint – > Zorin Os -> Manjaro – >Fedora – >Garuda Linux – > Boss linux – > Fedora Kde – > Zorin Xcfe – > Finally Kbuntu 😊

  10. What about enable every hardware if you notice very big power differences between the operating systems the it means that some hardware has not been used and even windows is able to deactivate devices as long as their drivers support s3 power states and that without reboot, you can even hide blacklist devices from being used or recognized by the windows device manager 20 Watt lol my phone pulls more wattage that the laptop you mentioned and that is that is not a laptop if it has a dedicated graphic card by default it is a nobile workstation as those have pc like power consumption do not mistake them for example all rog laptops are actually mobile workstations not laptop laptops have low voltages that at max core have 1.1 volt those like intel atom like cpus , instead of cripple functionality by just cutting hardware away , better replace a battery with more capacity cause batteries wheres out regardless it those are un use or not.

  11. No, thank you. I'll stick with community supported distros which are not influenced by companies with their own agendas. Coincidentally, also the distro which Debian uses to add all their proprietary stuff to. 😊

  12. A few years ago I had a notebook with a 2nd generation i5, I ended up migrating from Linux to Windows precisely because of the battery consumption at the time.
    This notebook had only the Intel onboard video card and even so the battery consumption in Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 was almost 40% higher than in Windows and its battery was no longer the best, which made it have to abandon Linux for some time while I was on the street, using it only when I was at home, connected to the electricity.
    Thankfully, nowadays we have more documentation and information on how to improve this consumption, because in notebooks every extra minute of energy counts.

  13. Lol I guess people are finally realizing that not all Linux is meant for Laptops. You have to take hardware and software in to consideration. I used to be able to turn off cores, hyper threading, and turbo boost which increases the batter life a lot. But now with new Intel CPU with P cores and E cores you can no longer do this. Killing all P cores is disabled at the Chip level and disabling all E cores makes the integration GPU become very unstable. Now I am using Zorin OS Pro which seemed to do power management very well automatically.

  14. Mine is an old Asus Ultrabook UX331UN (i5-8250U) running Arch KDE with its dedicated MX150 GPU set to hybrid mode. It reports a discharge rate of 5W on idle. Not that bad in my book.
