Hi!
I'm fairly new to Arch, and laptop I'm using was configured on win10 for 2-3 months. During that time I found out that on energy saving mode it can last up to 12-13 hours on notepad, and about 9hours of web-browsing / light coding. After switching to Arch I am surprised to find out that it stays about 5-6 hours max. that s*cks. I really thought arch would consume less energy than running win10.
How can I improve my battery life?
I found "Print power Settings" script on Wiki so I post here report from when laptop is
plugged in: https://0x0.st/zw-Q.txt

You should go through this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Power_management
My personal advise/opinion is that tlp is a great tool to install, enable and mostly forget about. For further tweaks look at powertop. Ofc there are many different options, so make sure to look around a bit, it is about choice after all

tlp has improved expected battery life to 9 hours, i'm impressed!

or even 11hours.
I had laptop-mode-tools before, but as I see they weren't configured out of the box for performance
