From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello. I just want to ask, I already tried search many resources, but I still can't find a way to reduce battery drain while sleep on Ubuntu on Dell laptop.

I seen that it use S0ix, the new standard that many manufacturer use but when sleep it drains a lot battery, in just 6 hours the battery gone 0.

Any help is appreciated. This is company laptop and it requires me use ubuntu (I don't like it but I don't have options to changes OS/distro).

Thanks

For point one, that's not possible on today's anti-consumer laptops.

For point two, apple keeps reinventing the computer with their nonstandard sh!t like M1.

@yum13241 @NightAuthor I have to take exception with the idea that Apple makes shit because it is not standard. They are making Macs, so for their platform, that is the standard. If you mean they should have to document their architecture to the outside world, I might agree, but that’s not the world we live in.

Maybe we should have a standards based platform that can be used for opensource platforms like Linux, but that’s an issue Linux hardware developers have to do.

Idk if this is by design, but I was not notified of this @mention

[–] yum13241@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, and now billions of programs have to be recompiled, if not rewritten. At least one person's workflow will break. There's a difference between making a Personal Computer and a locked down console that doesn't run games all that well. Apple is doing the latter, by pushing architectures that lock people into their OSes.

@yum13241 but don’t programs that run on Linux Arm also have to be recompiled?

Don’t misunderstand me, I think there may be cause for Apple to be forced to open their ecosystem more, but operating systems are always unique unto themselves.

[–] yum13241@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No one is forced to use ARM to have a good Linux system. You are forced to use ARM to have a good Mac.

[–] Shrexios@mastodon.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@yum13241 no one forces you to buy a Mac. You get that most people who buy a Mac are likely to be okay with being in the ecosystem just like most people who use Linux know it is not going to run all the Windows apps. I agree that there should be a more open approach to these things, but in an economic system that prizes competition and profit above all things, closed systems tend to become the norm to distinguish them form their competitors.

[–] yum13241@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Workplaces might force you to use them.

[–] Shrexios@mastodon.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@yum13241 in which case everything you would need to do that work is available. He’ll, many of the open source apps people will point to as essential will also run an a Mac.

[–] yum13241@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

After you spend hours compiling it lol. Also, let's not forget that macOS is generally unfriendly to workflows that require more than one window active. Either you waste tons of space on the dock, menu bar, and title bar, or you maximize it and in the case of browsers, can't change tabs.

[–] Shrexios@mastodon.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@yum13241 I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve used many open source programs on macOS, already compiled and already packaged to work on Mac’s. What version of macOS are you referring to, 7?

[–] yum13241@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean cross compiling the Intel version over to the M1 architecture.

[–] Shrexios@mastodon.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@yum13241 but you don’t actually have to do that as x86 versions will run on a Mac.

[–] yum13241@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not for long.

[–] Shrexios@mastodon.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@yum13241 you have to recompile for Linux arm too, right? It seems you just want excuses to hate macOS.

[–] yum13241@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

At least Linux ARM doesn't change every year, and is a reliable STANDARD.

[–] Shrexios@mastodon.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@yum13241 again, just looking for excuses to hate.

[–] yum13241@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I'm not looking for a stupid reason to hate. I can't port my software to macOS even if I wanted to, because cross-compiling isn't an option for nonstandard architectures.
