Title: Power management is an effective indicator of the level of a distribution [Copy link]

Today I saw someone posting on the German forum of SUSE, saying that he couldn't stand Ubuntu anymore - it generates too much heat.
In fact, laptop users are all concerned about heat. If the fan runs too frequently, people will faint first.

I also installed Ubuntu on my laptop to test it before, and I had to disable ACPI to start the kernel.
The consequences were disastrous, and the heat was terrible.

SUSE should be said to have made efforts in this regard, and PowerSave seems to have a close relationship with SUSE.
But the effect is still not as good as Windows + the small tools of the laptop manufacturer, and it can't be put into standby mode on my computer.
I reduced the CPU usage by 65% in SUSE,
but the heat is still quite high. Although I allocated 75% of the hard disk to SUSE, I rarely log in to SUSE now, because of power management.


Today I also read a review of SLED10beta, and the main problem mentioned in it was that the laptop generates too much heat and the sleep and standby mode does not work.

Therefore, if a distribution version can take a breakthrough step in power management, then its hardware support level is first-class.
