Hello,
So I have ZenBook UX325 OLED, running the newest stable Manjaro with 5.17 kernel.
I love it, but I have one problem that really concerns me. Battery life. The battery life on Manjaro is around 3-4 hours top. Compared with Windows 10, which lasts around 8-10 hours is annoying. Powertop usually says that the power draw is around 10W. But with that kind of power draw on a full charge, it can probably last around ~5 and half hours. What are some optimizations that I can make so I can extend the battery life on my laptop?
