I've collected some hacks from our kernel team and tested the idle time on battery on my Librem 5 Birch - got almost exactly 6 hours while staying at 38°C the whole time. Not that long ago it struggled to reach 3h and stay under 60°C - and they're not done yet! :D

@dos Do you know where the majority of the power goes in idle?

@solarkraft Lots of various things were being tackled recently, like voltage scaling or GPU not turning off when unused. USB seems to be quite a power hog for some reason, and we still don't even suspend the CPU there.

I'm not an EE though, just a high-level software guy that likes to try all the new shiny unfinished stuff, so no idea on the details ;)
