Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
Fingerprint reader: that thing looks at me every day, obscenely suggesting I boot up Windows instead of Linux so I can stroke it gently and login conveniently.
Oh, also battery life. Windows always has managed to extract more uptime from a single charge in my laptop.
I installed
power-profiles-daemonon my laptop (and configured it in the settings) a while back and noticed a bit better battery life. Maybe it could also be the kernel? I updated mine a while back and there was also an improvement.What are you using for power management on Linux? I forgot what I switched to but switching from the default (I think it was CPU power deamon) to something more granular literally doubled my uptime.
