I have Ubuntu running with a sound bar and monitor that only pulls 40 watts. My processor is one of those vanilla box mini computers…GMKTech. I’m able to run it off a 1 kwh solar power station and it lasts a laughably long time. How much more efficiency do you need? I have fans that use more power than my desktop.

I don’t know how your monitor is this efficient, mine consumes around that exact amount (40 watts) according to “displayspecifications.com”. Anyways, with my laptop eDP panel (driven by sway), external keyboard, external mouse, I have running: systemd, glibc, NetworkManager, all that evil ass background crap mpv playing a .ogg to headphones Firefox with this website, typing rn weechat connected to 3 servers toxic claws mail Tor daemon Wi-Fi through 2 walls Let’s look at upower -d, shall we? energy-rate: 5,64 W time to empty: 6,3 hours roflmao
