- dlcarrier 1y agoIt's going to take power, no matter the operating system. What matter is how much power it takes. On most desktop environments and widgets, it's probably negligible.
- pdw 1y agoIt certainly does. There is for example a measurable energy cost for having a blinking cursor in a terminal, and there have been huge flame wars about efforts to move to non-blinking cursors. The compromise for GNOME Terminal is that the cursor will stop blinking after a terminal has been idle for ten seconds.
- everybodyknows 1y agoWhy not similarly disable seconds display after some specifiable time has elapsed since the last key or mouse event? The decimal digits could be replaced with a greyed-out ":--".
- wirybeige 1y agoIt happens on GNOME at the very least, and I would expect every modern platform is the same way.
