Thanks, I did have that for a while when I was still on VMs, I tried to stay purely on Linux but because of performance issues sharing my ram across 2 OSs I found myself going back to Windows. Now that I am running Linux natively my computer is at least twice as fast as when it was when I was...

Worked out great. Thank you!

I installed on Xubuntu (Ubuntu), so thank you very much! I have to run to the airport but I will check it out if it works when I get back. This looks promising

I love learning new things, right now I'm just struggling a bit to get TLP working. I keep my laptop plugged in all the time and would like to limit charging to 80%... I installed it, created a config file, added the parameters, ran TLP... When I run "sudo tlp-stat -b" It shows me...
