Even though my CPU slowed down significantly, auto-cpufreq did reduce my power usage while watching this video from 24W to 18W, which is huge. Thanks to this, I don't have to keep a burning laptop on my lap anymore!

I was working 100% of the time on Linux environment (manly on Manjaro XFCE) a bit more than 3 years. I use engineering CAD programs and trading. . I gave-up to use Linux on my old Lenovo Ci7 4th gen. On Linux I barely get 1h10min on battery. Here on my legendary Windows 8.1 I get not less 2h30min. . Baking in the day, I did pretty munch all the tutorials, yet I did not notice a considerable gain, unfortunately 😭

Nice video. It should also be noted that many big improvements have been added to the kernel since 5.1, which have greatly reduced power consumption without needing extra packages. Just browsing the internet (no videos) or working on documents gets me about 16 hours of battery life on my XPS 13 with Fedora 33 and Debian 10, both with kernel 5.9.

I definitely recommend taking the time to tune TLP manually if you can, some of the default settings are way to aggressive when it comes to CPU power saving in my experience. I've been able to get better results than the TLP defaults (both in terms of battery life AND performance) just by turning off its max_cpu_frequency/power limits and messing with the CPU_PERF_POLICY (EPP/speed shift controls) instead.

You should try using a tool like auto-cpufreq. Your processor cores are probably running at boost clocks all the time. auto-cpufreq will bring them down to base clocks (while only making use of boost clocks under heavy cpu loads). This should also cut the heat down by 40-50%.

Not really, somethings have changed 1. "Tuned" service exists now and at least on Fedora will replace TLP and power-profile-daemon as the preferred power tool. You can install "tuned" package and see how it works in man pages: "man tuned.conf" "man tuned" and "man tuned-adm" 2. On Fedora (likely others too), the "powertop" package includes a systemd service for powertop. So you can just activate it with: sudo systemctl --now enable powertop and so powertop will auto run "powertop --auto-tune" at boot time. You may need to tweak around with powertop systemd service because in some cases it power_saves things you don't want to like your USB mouse or touchpad. The systemd service file can be modified to override those to "on" instead of "auto" for their power control values

Sadly it's been known for years that unless tweaking is done, ootb mobile Linux is poor compared to other OS's. There's nothing like seeing a 6-hour battery life drop (on a fresh Windows laptop) to cool off one's argument of how great Linux is. The new laptop's 6 hours of life dropped to about 3-3.5 simply by booting up Ubuntu. Swapping between onboard(intel) gpu and dedicated was in its infancy when I got the laptop-4-5 years ago, but still possible. But the battery life still sucked and was rarely unplugged..
