You can optimize each of those settings for low power consumption (Good
) instead of potentially better performance (Bad
) by pressing Enter while they are highlighted in interactive mode.
Alternatively, PowerTOP can automatically tune all settings for low power usage if you run the command
sudo powertop --auto-tune
Whether the Good
(lower power usage) or Bad
(maybe higher performance) settings or a specific combination of those are more suitable for you depends on whether you need long battery life or high performance more. The decision is up to you.
