TL;DR How in your experience is the battery runtime of the thinkpad x240 on current compared to Linux with TLP?
I don't have X240 but I have X1 Carbon (1s Gen). It has i7 processor. I would say it runs comparably warm on any platform. My uptime is 5-6 hrs, as on Linux.
Dear OpenBSD devs and users, I am using OpenBSD for most of my servers since around 5.6 now and I absolutely love it. However, I have not used OpenBSD on a notebook so far. Now that I finally upgraded from my trusty x200 to an x240 I'd like to give OpenBSD a shot there as well. But before installing I'd like to know if those of you who have run Linux as well as OpenBSD on their x240 can give a comment on the battery runtime. Of course absolute runtimes heavily depend on your use case and are thus not very interesting. But if you compare Linux with TLP and OpenBSD with apmd -C are the runtimes comparable or is there a clear winner?
Here is how I do it: use apm -A I also use apm -L to put my laptop in low power mode when needed.
Thanks in advance
