Mostly just web development stuff - firefox, terminal, vs code, thundebird, background music etc. I am hardly ever without power so I haven't really spent much time on this. But thanks for the suggestion, will look into powertop. I assume this means that you use linux on zenbook flip ? Which distro do you use?

As for resolution, I wanted to try to run it lower res but Ubuntu crashes in lower res :/ Will have more time on the weekend to investigate.

I use ubuntu. But I’ve switched away from gnome to the i3 window manager (it is my favorite).

Ubuntu was a nice base in that it provided all the drivers and stuff like that built-in (I had a desktops with Arch for about a decade, and my previous memory of laptops was hunting for drivers on Arch in like 2011. It was kind of a pain, so I switched to Ubuntu for this laptop. I’m not sure whether that was the right decision, though).

Good luck with the crash! FWIW, there’s an Xorg and a Wayland version of Ubuntu’s desktop environment, maybe try flipping over to the other one just to see if that does anything.
