Hi, I have KDE Plasma installed as my main OS on my HP ZBook Firefly 14 G8. Just started with Linux this week so I’m new
The battery survives for an hour at maximum, where it’d last several on windows.
Everything feels a bit laggy and less smooth in general, and videos on youtube feel like they’re playing on about 6-7 frames per second.
The laptop became a whole lot louder (and hotter) as well.
I had a look at the CPU usage, and it seemed to be jumping from 30% to somewhere between 40-60% every second or so. I got a tip to try autocpufreq, but testing it with the --live option froze my system after 3 minutes of having it on, so I had to manually power off and restart. As for the video problem, I tried installing multimedia codecs from the fedora docs, though I couldn’t notice a change at all.
Any ideas on what to do? Did I miss something obvious maybe? Thanks
