Obviously priority is now on F21 bugs but looking beyond that
I want to work with someone more knowledgeable on power consumption - it stinks on Fedora
20.
OSX on mac air gets 11-12 hrs Fedora gets 4
Chrome OS on Chromebook gets 9-10 Fedora gets about 6
Tried powertop - see slight improvement.
Guys at ARCH claim with powerdown scripts they get close to 11 on Mac Air - that's
good
So we need to get the powerdown scripts to work well with Fedora. I have no idea how
much conversion, if any is needed for Fedora - just don't have the knowledge of
processes, Fedora scripts, etc. But willing to help out, test, etc. (I want 11 hrs on my
Mac Air !).
Try installing tlp. Helps my macbook to get more battery. It seems to fix up issues with
scaling governors etc.
If your laptop is dual gpu you're facing an uphill battle though.
