Everything I mention in this post will be taken from the Arch Wiki this guide is geared towards new Arch Linux users who want a practical laptop like they did on Windows or Mac OS. This guide can be applied to other distros not just Arch.

Everything I'll show is biased towards my personal laptop with an Intel CPU and GPU, I'll be leaving guides for AMD and NVIDIA devices where it's needed so people with that hardware aren't left out.

For laptops with dual GPU's if you want the most battery life and best thermals you'll want to switch to your iGPU for normal tasks, I left Arch Wiki guides for how to do that at the bottom of this post.

I wont be using any power saving packages in this guide, because I don't like them and feel I can achieve better results without them even though they do a lot of similar things you'll see here. (If you do have any power saving packages installed uninstall all of them if you plan on following this guide as they may cause conflicts)

I'll continue updating this guide if I find anything new or if new technologies come out to improve efficiency.

Also small rant at the bottom of my post and basically my hope for Linux laptop support in the future.

Step 1. Kernel and Drivers

When picking what kernel to use (Latest or LTS) Latest will mostly likely have better performance and battery especially on newer hardware, LTS will have better stability and reliability. (personally I use the LTS)

run sudo pacman -S linux-firmware if you haven't installed it already it.

Here is the Arch Wiki page to the Linux kernel.

Here is the Arch Wiki Guide for NVIDIA drivers.

Here is the Arch Wiki Guide for AMD drivers.

Here is the Arch Wiki Guide for Intel drivers.

Step 2. Enable Wayland

Wayland has been shown have slight power saving compared to X.org it also makes my laptop run much smoother. For KDE you'll want to run sudo pacman -S plasma-wayland-session (For NVIDIA it's different check the wiki) then select it from your login screen, on Gnome it should be enabled by default. For other desktop environments I'll leave the Arch Wiki page.

Wayland is not a requirement for this guide I personally just found it much better to use.

For KDE

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

You take away their little brooms

I'm 20, I have had AGP since I was 13. It was always just a sexual thing and it still is for the most part, but I notice I'm very slowly falling in love with femininity and starting to dislike some aspects of masculinity.

For example I find it beautiful that woman are more expressive, less aggressive, are allowed to show more emotions and are so much more desired.

On the other hand, men aren't allowed to show emotions, are usually more aggressive and less desired.

How can I change this perspective? It doesn't affect me too much yet, I still don't mind being a male, but I'm afraid in the future it might change and I might develop a female persona and start hating masculinity.

In what ways are men beautiful too? Can you help my twisted mind understand that men are also beautiful human beings?

Why

It’s pronounced “Noel.”

After all his first name is No-vac

What, then, is Chinese rap?

Edit:

Notable mentions from the comments:

• Spanish/Swedish/Swiss/Serbian hits

• French/Finnish art

• Country/Canadian rap

• Chinese/Country/Canadian rock

• Turkish/Tunisian/Taiwanese rap

It was about a weak back.

There hasn't been a single post this year!

Nothing, it just waved

Him: I can explain everything!

(It's his best joke yet I think)
