TLP - Optimize Linux Laptop Battery Life
========================================
TLP is a feature-rich Linux utility that saves laptop battery power
without the need to delve into technical details.

Rest easy after installation knowing that TLP's default settings are
already optimized for battery life.
However, you can also fully customize TLP to suit your unique needs.

The settings are organized into three customisable profiles *performance*,
*balanced* and *power-saver*. The profiles switch automatically,
allowing you to adjust between savings and performance independently for
AC and battery operation.

The newly introduced TLP profiles daemon (**tlp-pd**) enables manual profile
switching with a mouse click. Together with TLP as the backend, it provides a
**complete replacement** for **power-profiles-daemon** by implementing the
same D-Bus API used by major Linux desktop environments such as GNOME, KDE
and Cinnamon for switching power profiles.

In addition TLP can enable or disable Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and WWAN radio
devices on boot and when connecting or removing the LAN cable.

For ThinkPads and many other supported laptops it provides a unified approach
to setting battery charge thresholds.
