      Well this change can’t improve anything about Power Saver. It only affects Balanced which now should be a bit less of a gas guzzler.

      And yes, even the most aggressive power saving we have at the moment isn’t anything to write home about. If we paid 10 developers to hunt down power drain issues and submit fixes for a few years we may get closer to macOS. 😂

      The great irony is, when I ran Windows native on those Intel Macbooks, I was getting better battery and performance than with macOS.

    Breh, I thought they had a new battery saving technology breakthrough. Lol Power profiles daemon? So they didn’t have it in the distro before?

      I though so too, but got fed up from installing fucking video codecs for YouTube, nebula and other platforms manually. And all the configuration… then I tried Ubuntu and it just worked (untill now, got some weird things, but better than fedora so far)

        That’s the case for Linux Mint, Pop os and others. The distros that ship it just don’t have ethical concerns

          What do you mean? To be honest if there are no working open source video codecs that work and are installed out of the box I am happy to use proprietary ones
