I am using TLP and powertop. On two devices actually. And both of them are simply much worse than the MacBook I have at work. Thus my question to start this thread. There must be controllers, main boards or something that are better or worse at drain during sleep or being turned off
Have you tried cloning and ssd or swapping it into another device to see if the same effect happens? That could tell you if it's a software or hardware issue. If you have researched and used those fairly extensive battery programs then I'm guessing there's some sort of hardware issue. I'd swap or clone the ssd. And check on another laptop.
I don't have the time for this that I used to and Bazzite has otherwise been running fine. Both of them had other distros on that had the same issues and Bazzite might become my daily driver for the future main machine and otherwise worked flawlessly.
