Which distros are energy efficient? I have a capable desktop, and I mean to push it, but I don’t want to be using energy if it’s not necessary. I’m not looking to rescue an old laptop, for example.

I hear CachyOS is fast. Does that translate to energy efficient?

(Does the OS even matter that much for efficiency?)

    Depends on which governor

    Default one.

    Android

    That’s also bad, but there’s a difference: developers on Android know about this and do workarounds like keeping a notification open. Because Android is Android, it always has this. No existing program elsewhere is designed around this.
