So I’m looking for a distro that I can put on my laptop in addition to kde neon and boot into when I want to save battery. The thing is I’m not even sure if I can expect a noticeable difference or if the display and applications I want to use (mostly just basic office stuff and maybe a browser but I want to use this in the forest so I won’t have wifi anyway) already draw so much power that background processes don’t really matter. If you think they do then I’d like to hear about especially efficient distros. I’m not a poweruser though so anything that requires extensive setup or maintainance won’t work for me sadly. I was thinking maybe something like kanotix that loads to RAM but like I said I’m not sure if that actually saves power.

    To add to this, I’d recommend to go through the BIOS/UEFI settings and turn off things you don’t need, e.g. certain card slots, ports, fingerprint scanner, maybe the webcam.
