  • Personally iOS seldomly betrayed me with it’s judgement regarding battery drain and the possible root cause. 🤷‍♂️ And there still is a difference between 5G with four signal bars and 5G with one. Not all 5Gs are built the same.

    You can choose to ignore iOS analysis, but I think you would do yourself a disservice. That should be the first thing to debunk/confirm from a debugging perspective.


  • Well the reason is listed in your screenshot: bad signal while Mail was active or worked in the background.

    Nothing kills the battery more than bad cell reception, as the phone has to put more effort and therefore energy into upholding communication.

    As most of your consumption seems to be while the screen is off turn off background refresh for mail to A/B test if power drain goes back to normal levels. Alternatively dial back how often Mail should fetch new mail.














  • Your mileage may vary depending on your specs, but: very happy with CachyOS on my DELL Latitude 5590.

    Based on Arch, meaning you get constant updates. Many tools and easy installation compared to stock Arch. KDE is similar in it’s ergonomics compared to Windows. Many pre configurable gaming packages, getting stuff up and running is easy.

    More „conservative“ and not liking living on the bleeding edge? Debian would be my personal choice. Bazzite is really interesting, but the „insistence“ on BTRFS breaks some gaming things (e.g. was not able to get Battle.net running with BTRFS, with ext4 on CachyOS it works)

    No matter what distribution you choose, ProtonDB is your first stop for infos on windows games you want to get running on Linux
