Hey guys, i’ve installed manjaro more or less 2 months ago and the thing is…until manjaro, my laptop baterry had 98% health after 4 or 5 months using Linux Mint. Now it’s 88% and 5 days ago it was 93%
I don’t have a clue why this is happening since i’ve always used it the same way(plugged in).
The laptop has only 6 months of usage.
Additionally, yesterday i noticed that even though i was using it on AC, the battery was discharging.
With powertop this is the higher power consumption
Power est. Usage Events/s Category Description
13.7 W 3,3 pkts/s Device Network interface: wlp8s0 (iwlwifi)
If the battery health continue to drop this fast, pretty soon (1 or 2 months) i won’t have battery anymore and this could be a good reason to change back to mint or windows(nightmare) as fast as i can. I don’t like this idea, because i really like manjaro, but i’m quite upset about my battery.
I get this impresion that all that started after the latests updates
Could you please help me find out if it’s related to my SO? I hope it’s not!!
