230: Our Favorite Distros of 2021, So Far

Tnx for a awesome episode! Since Im new to the forum, I`m working my way throw all the episodes.

I`m also using Fedora 34(with Gnome 40) on ThinkPad T450, and love it!

I have two questions:

  1. I have some battery time issues. On a full charge watching Youtube, it only lasts for 40 mins to a hour.
    I read on a forum to install end enable TLP.
    That didn`t make the battery last longer, so I removed it.

On another forum they recommended “Power-profiles-daemon package”.

Now it`s better than it was. The indicator says 5 hour on standby but when i use Youtube it drops down to 1h 15 min when on “Power Save Mode”

Are there any way to get better battery life or am i too demanding and 1h 15 is as good as it get?

  1. When using Timeshift to back up as an old habit i use Rsync.

Should I rather use BTRFS since Fedora uses that filesystem?

There are many opinions out there. I’m asking here because I feel many of the users here have a lot of knowledge and I fully trust that people here want the best for me. :smiley:

I have been trolled a lot of times on reddit :nerd_face: :stuck_out_tongue:
