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 !).
I don't know much about it but I hate how bad my battery life is on my
laptop... I've been considering buying a mac because I thought it was
the size of battery etc (granted that could still be a factor). It truly
is miserable. I'd be willing to work to try to test / package stuff.
