Good to hear that canonical is addressing this. I had complaining customers on my SatchBook. Battery life got worse with every release recently.

  Why is this a canonical thing? It seem to me to be a kernel thing.
  • macco 15y ago
    That's right, but it's not only the kernel that uses power.

      All of the solutions/fixes talked about in the article seem to be at the kernel level. Do you have evidence that Canonical is working on power savings with user-land processes?

    It looks like Canonical are rolling out power-saving kernel patches pretty aggressively. It's up to the distro which kernel features to enable, especially when it comes to testing new ones.
