[qubes-users] Poor battery life running Qubes

Hi there I’ve been using Qubes for about 18 months now, and it’s great. My only complaint is the poor battery life I get. I’ve followed various recommendations within qubes-users about using powertop and tlp, but nothing seems to address the rapid decline in power I experience when running on battery. Some system information: Kernel Version Linux version 5.4.88-1.qubes.x86_64 System Name PurismLibrem 15 v44.0 (Pureboot) CPU Information 2 Intel(R) Core™ i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz OS Information…

Just what is up with the energy usage...? i mean laptop battery runs out so quickly

running qubes on a laptop is a pain in the ass because of the battery discharge i can fully understand why running so many vm’s would consume a lot of power compared to for example windows but they say that the most battery goes on powering the display i mean it’s not as if we have any good solution regarding measuring what’s using the battery how much each qube takes etc… sounds like a good idea to “estimate” at the very least idk it’s just… the power usage is just a pain
