SHEEEEEESHH!! WE LOVE RACKNERD CREDITS.five
shouldn't be too hard to install with single commands
Lol, there are so many comments that I couldn't even find the giveaway
great job people
Congratulations, winners
We loveeeeeeeeeee #EXTRA RAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Either way, don’t think any distro will help me with my battery, and I’d rather not tinker around every so often to install an app compared to just running one command
Hosting words of wisdom...
Easy GAs do not make skillful F5 warriors.
Everyone is so fast!!
Hey, distro will help you with your battery! Let me share my experience
On windows my laptop was giving around 1.5-2 hours battery backup, and on debian i was having around 3-3.5 hours
SHEEEEEESHH!! WE LOVE RACKNERD CREDITS.5
On windows I was getting 4 hours, on debian I got 3.5 hours, and PopOS with optimizations still only got me 4 hours
don't choose bloatware, that is what sucks battery.
like arch or debian net install etc, pre installed os will suck a lot battery.
I tried the barebones installation of Debian with nothing else - as for popOS, it simply has too many QoL stuff that I would never even try to attempt to manually add them all
CyberPanel is too simple, In hestia you can use mail, file manager, dns, automated-letsencrypt ssl, etc almost all features like a paid cpanel for fre!!!

do you use all of that stuff?
@MooCowGalaxy give arch a try, might take few minutes but totally worth it, or go for fedora give it a try!
What bloatware is installed on those? I personally haven’t experienced or noticed anything weird in my process list, everything is something that I need or use.
We want #MORE RACKNERD ACCOUNT CREDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The things you don't want/use, also heavy desktop environments do effect, brightness level do effect, and so on..
Pre-installed stuff is bloatware
Well most of it, I uninstall the things that I don’t need
Why not take a note of things you want to use, and install yourself? and choose pretty lite os like arch or alpine. That will totally make you happy when you see battery living longer
We loveeeeeeee #FREE PROCESSING POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I added a bunch of optimizations to my desktop environment - as for brightness level and other factors, I want to keep everything as close as possible to my experience in Windows. I’m not trying to do heavy optimizations like turning my brightness down to 1%, I just want to squeeze an extra few minutes out of this battery while still being able to do everything that I normally do (developing, browsing, etc.)
