Hi all,
I had this laptop (Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen 6), and when it had Debian, it would just go flat on sleep, and even when powered off. So strange. I checked all BIOS settings etc, but could never figure it out.
I moved it to Fedora, and it was perfect. Battery life was boosted like crazy, acted as it was meant to.
However, I have tomove away from Fedora, due to them dropping X11 (it's an accessibility issue I'm facing with my tools) and I forgot about said issue with Debian.
Back on Debian now, woke up, powered on laptop, which was fully charged last night, and it's flat again.
What is it, that Debian is doing differently, that is making it go flat, when powered off?
Please note, I am doing a proper shutdown. Not just closing lid, sleep, hybernate, etc.
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
UPDATE: I booted into a fedora live disk, and shutdown. This time the battery did not go flat at all when shutdown, indicating that it is absolutely debian related, not BIOS or anything else.
I 100% believe this.
We've really looked into co-pilot in our example at work to really see what it can do, and oh my god, the programmers in our team are literally excited and terrified at the same time.
The level that it has come along is astounding and for the first time amongst all the AI hype, and all the AI bashing, I have seen it with my own eyes, how very much we will start relying on these tools.
We just spent a couple of hours playing with the thing to build up a project and amongst us with literal vibe-coding joy in our hearts and just embracing it, this thing, rather than bashing it and avoiding it like we normally do, we made projects that were fully tested, absolutely rock-damn solid, in hours that would have taken us weeks to make as professionals.
So now we are back looking at our terminal and our IDE and thinking oh my god I want some more of that.
So as a lawyer that has an equally technical task at hand with a lot of research they need to pull together, cross-referencing and all the stuff that goes with it, I can imagine that if they have tasted it, I don't know how they will ever go back to not using it.
However, from a programming perspective, it either works or it doesn't. From a legal perspective, that is something completely else, so I guess the comparison is not quite equal.
Still, the days are numbered.
