The desktop environments are really confusing. Battery software isn't good.



Try Cinnamon.

It is in my opinion the most cohesive linux desktop especially if you are looking for the "classic" desktop experience (which isn't to say it's dated, it has all the new bells and whistles but it's not all about them either).

Have you tried using TLP ?


Yeah I get really confused and unsure as to whether or not it's working. I probably need to buy a laptop from a vendor with first-class Linux support TBH.
