    • Welcome, I go by a few names, but here I am called MimicsChest.

    I have quite a few interests and hobbies that I engage in, which I post on my personal site

    Site Updates

    I have just completed the scripts I mentioned. Now I can automate blog posts. I just write the contents into a text file, and supply the script with a title and description.

    Laptop Problems

    I love my laptop, and mine is decently powerful... However, its battery sucks.

    Like, I can get maybe one hour of use before it needs a recharge. It is pretty new too; its battery is just like that.

    I mean, it does charge quickly. Probably 20 min charge time. Still not great.

    My previous laptop was an old thinkpad that I had lubuntu running on it. Its battery worked for 10+ hrs. I kinda miss it. Screen got borked pretty bad tho.

    I wonder if loading up a lightweight linux distro would impact the battery life? Windows has a lot of bloat; surely freeing up some of those resources I could squeeze some more use out of it.

    My only problem with that is that it has a nvidia gpu, and nvidia drivers are proprietary, meaning that if nvidia stops supporting linux, the community probably wont be able to pick it back up.
