Hi,
I'm using a notebook with intel gpu. The German website of heise today published an article, which lamented about the missing implementation of an important power saving mechanism called ALPM since _years_, see
https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Kommentar-Linux-scheitert-an-Egozent... (in German),
https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Die-Neuerungen-von-Linux-4-11-3641334.html,
and
https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/42156.html
If implemented, my notebook is supposed to run two hours longer on battery. ALPM works for other OS since years.
The heise article says, there were a single guy named Matthew who is trying to fix his patches for the kernel, but no one else.
Is this true? Can the openSuse community help to develop an ALPM implementation? Many users run openSuse on notebooks.
Kind Regards,
Alexander
