Hello,

Is there a way to improve efficiency during gameplay and operating system use? Do you have any suggestions?

I always use the maximum performance power profile in the BIOS and operating system to unlock performance, but I'd like it to be more energy efficient.

I'd like it to last about 10 hours with normal system use including internet, YouTube, etc., and about 4 hours or more with games.

I have a Lenovo ideapad laptop with intel i3 1115g4, uhd tgl gt2, xe driver, Linux Kubuntu 26.04
There are acpi errors in the kernel, but this has happened in any distro.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello @Leandro45640, general system tuning is outside the scope of support for the Steam client. General tuning is something to discuss with your distro community.
