trying to figure out why my battery life is so lousy with Solus. It's really bumming me out. I can't use my laptop unplugged at all. I have tlp and powetop installed, I am a newbie though and don't know how to use them. My laptop is an older macbook. Any and all advice is much appreciated. Do you think switching to Mate would help? I'm currently using budgie because I love it.`Password:
