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 🙂

Puzzled by what I'm seeing in #powertop on Fedora 42 in the list of things keeping the CPU awake:

- What is this "tick_nohz_handler" thing? I tried looking it up on the web, never found a clear answer.

- Why would gnome-text-editor be the only app waking up the CPU 59-60 times per second at all times?

A chaque fois que j'essaie de lancer #powertop sur mon serveur #proxmox , peu importe ce que je fais, le serveur finit par planter, dès fois juste en lançant l'outil.

Ca m'énerve un peu.

So, #fedora uses tuned-ppd, which is an power-profiles to tuned compatibility daemon.

It translates the requests over dbus for the profiles to tuned profiles, which (for powersave) contained a section

```
[video]
radeon_powersave=dpm-battery, auto
panel_power_savings=3
```

where the `panel_power_savings=3` basically translates to a parameter of #amdgpu called panel_power_savings. The kernel parameter is `amdgpu.abmlevel`: ABM level (0 = off, 1-4 = backlight reduction level, -1 auto (default)) (int)

I basically forced this to 0 to avoid the really weird panel effects. #Powertop didn't show me significant savings there.

Masculine big dick Brazilan power top Mario Galeno barebacks hairy bodybuilder Leo Bumstead until he cums in Leo's mouth at Tim Tales.

Why does #powertop only show how much wattage it's discharging and can't it show how much wattage it's charging?
