The power-management of the Lenovo T14s Gen4 AMD Ryzen has gotten significantly better in Kernel 6.17, WOW !!

5.77 W battey discharge with the 2,8K OLED display on 40% brightness and just 620.4 wakeup/s that is *a ton* better than anything, I've seen with that device in the last 2,5 years.

The powe-rmanagement for the Ryzen Pro CPUs was notoriously bad on linux.

My last test, which was shortly after the release of Fedora 42 was stil in the 7.8-8.0W range ...

Slowly that laptop is getting feasable on Linux 🙂
