I went back to #Windows for now you guys. I just can't. Every. Single. #Linux. Distro. has some kind of hardware issue. First it was the sound not adjusting with the GNOME volume slider. Then it was packages not being available in rpm or flatpak, and I'd have to spend forever finding a tutorial to compile from source. Then it was firefox having video stutter issues. Then I switch to Mint and I can't adjust screen brightness for no reason.
Constant headaches. Windows just works.
all that and Linux SUCKS for laptop battery life. It halved my battery no matter the distro.
I’m not sure it ‘learns’, it just gets installed with sane defaults that can help save battery life here and there, without restricting power too much it causes crashes, or other problems. You can configure it further in the config, but for new-to-linux people, often times installing is enough to see some good improvements from the defaults it uses.
You don’t really need to configure TLP, just let it run in the background and it will “learn” on its own.
