Kernel Recompile Mint Linux

[Jerry Feldman]

I would take a much closer look not so much at the CPU, but at power
management. What is your time interval before the display goes to sleep.
What setting do you have when you close the lid on battery power.
One of the major uses of power is the display. Certainly every little
thing is a component, and knowing how to tune a Linux and Unix system is
very good experience, although not as necessary today as in the past.
