I upgraded to Fedora 40 workstation a couple of days ago. I never turn off or suspend my laptop (a Thinkbook 14s Yoga) and it was guranteed to be dead if i left it unplugged for a couple of hours before the update.
With Fedora 40 it’s been unplugged for almost 5 hours and still has 52% battey left (down from 59% when i unplugged the charger).
I noticed both TLP and auto-cpufreq have been disabled after the update so this looks like default power settings are being used.
I’m not sure if it means I’ll be getting consistently better battery life but i thought maybe it’s a good idea to share this first impression anyway.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
battery health != battery life
just a small fix, battery life is usually referred for the amount of time you can get out of a single charge, battery health for how long your battery will last over the years maintaining its capacity
