Why is the battery life on Solus such shit?

KEVIN

>still using g a laptop in the age of phones x desktop

Because you fell for the KevinNet(TM) meme.

>>57997453
I'm running Solus on my phone too and the battery life is shit.

>>57997448
>>57997456
who is kevin?

>>57997434
I dunno but I really hope it's high on their list of priorities, I only get like 4 hours.

Because Solus is ubermeme garbage and also it's shit

>>57997515
>mfw

>>57997554
So then what's good?

>>57997560
I don't know, maybe a distro that is not a meme?

>>57997448
CHRISSSS

>>57997627
Ok which ones are those?

>>57997666
pick any

>>57997434
Extra battery power is used to run KevinNet. Enjoy your NSA backdoor, cuck.

>>57997434
Meme distro. Literally elementaryOS territory levels of retardation

Does Kevin still tripfag here? I haven't seen him since the beginning of solus shilling. I think he went undercover to shitpost his new OS

>>57997756
He left. There were some images on here of, I think, the solus irc with him saying he'd only made two threads and everyone had started taking the piss so he'd run off. everything since has been shitposting.

It's a shame because /g/ did what it always does, rather than get involved in a project which has made it past logo stage and actively try and make it worthwhile it gets shitposted until it can't even be spoken about.

>>57997691
I don't see anything there that works any better than Solus. Fedora is basically unusable because of its stupid update cycles, CentOS come on, Ubuntu and Debian are fine but Gnome and KDE both suck pure ass.

>>57997787
Why waste time on a shitty distro when time could be spent further improving an existing, established distro, such as Debian.

>>57997806
and your battery only lasts 4 hours on solus

>>57997810
Solus is young enough to stop it being 'shitty' before practices you disagree with become too entrenched.

>>57997434
found ur problem

Isn't OPTIMIZED their favorite fucking buzzword?

>>57997821
Yep. Looks like Linux just sucks and it's all the Linux """"community"'s fault because you petty faggots can't agree on shit.

>>57997853
That same laptop can run Windows 7 for 4+ hours.

>>57997434
solus is part of the systemD botnet borg

because it's Linux.

>>57997806
>Fedora is unusable because I have to run a python script once a year to update releases
Have you contacted Amnesty International?

>>57997787
Kevin still comes here.
I'm in another IRC channel with him and he said he got kind of scared when he was doxxed, but nothing came of it.

>>57998623
>he's going to pretend like the upgrades aren't broken and you're better off installing clean.

>>57997810
Because debian is an outdated piece of shit with 10+ year old packages and the worst package manager ever to be invented for linux?

>>57997434
Because drivers/acpi is a bitch on anything Linux unless the devs HAVE to fix it for a paid product.

Go with Ubuntu TLS or openSUSE Tumbleweed and install TLP and powertop, tweak that shit.

>>57998983
Are you serious? Well I'm tempted, but what about the shitty DEs?

>>57998845
>What is Debian testing/unstable

>>57997810
If you're gonna use a stable distro, at least use openSUSE

No point in using solus. if you want an actually good meme distro, just run arch with the git version of budgie. Runs better and you actually have support for shit.

Your battery life is shit because you are using nouveau.

>>57999176
They're not actually shitty. Gnome is actually good but MATE is probably more your speed

>>57997448
fuck kevin that nigger shit in my thinkpad

>>58002150
i honestly hope twink ass tripfags like you get cancer

afaik tlp is installed on solus, but you must enable it
sudo systemctl enable tlp.service
or something like this
this should improve your battery life

Can this meme die already? Aptitude is fucking great.

You couldn't tell me 5 things wrong with Aptitude. Go ahead, Google it, I'll wait.

>>58002185
MATE is asstrash. When will Lincucks ever hire someone who knows about design?

>>58003326
You have to use shitty Ubuntu and Debian.
apt doesn't work without a network connection, needs multiple packages just for headers, and isn't customization friendly, i.e. different kernel patch sets.

It's not you d*rn liar.

>>57998634
I still come here, I don't make threads anymore though, just the occasional screenshot in a random thread/solus thread or a shitpost.

>>57997756
I haven't tripfagged since I faked my Gentoo screenfetch in Ubuntu

>>57997434
>Why is the everything on Solus such shit?
Fixed.

Kill your wife's son and kidnap your wife kill her bull if he comes for you

>>57998634
What IRC channel?

>>58005208
it's a secret :^)

>>58005227
But I want to ask Kevin to make steam a system required app that cannot be Uninstalled and requires you to log in on boot

>>58005129
Hi Kevin
I tried solus but didn't like it, sorry for disappointing you

>>58005079
Yes it is you lil bitch.

>>58005264
It's all good dude, use what you like. What didn't you like about Solus?

>>58005297
The battery life

>>58005304
I get better battery life on it on my ThinkPad W530 using the Nvidia gpu exclusively on Solus than I did on Ubuntu. I can get about ~2 hours depending on the brightness and/or what I'm doing.

>>58005328
>I can get about ~2 hours
That's horrible and it's literally half the battery life I can get on Windows.

>>58005297
Hey Kevin do this
>>58005248

>>58005208
One of the top chans on rizon.
Its associated with another board though.

That should be enough of a hint.

>>58005340
My battery is also at half capacity, and I usually have it on max brightness. I also only use the Nvidia GPU and not the Intel one.

>>58005342
Steam is already a required app if you want to play Steam games.

>>58005352
Still, why is it so much worse than Windows 7? Does it not do speedstep or something? Resource usage actually appears low but I can watch the battery percentage drop just sitting there.

>>58005394
Idk, never used Windows on it.

is this the new screenfetch threaf
