Hi all,

I’m trying to optimise battery life on Linux (NixOS), although I do  
occasionally use Bazzite & Windows on my WM2 (2024). I have some scripts that  
optimise TDP down to 6W on battery, but ACPI is reporting around 3hours of  
battery life - and I haven’t had this WM2 for that long.

I’m just curious on what settings people have found useful on their GPD  
WM2s (mine is 8840U/64GB RAM) with regards to power conservation.

Any suggestions are welcome 🙂

Thanks!
