Hello ! A community profile picture would be a good starter.

I am currently using a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 with a 10th gen intel i5. I like the keyboard and the speakers a lot more than any laptop I ever had, but the battery life is not the greatest, but that is not surprising as it has an intel chip, and the fans are really loud which bothers me a lot. I am not really interested in Lenovo's latest tech, but I do like their older Thinkpad models with the removable external batteries.

I installed Linux Mint on my Dad's older computer and he uses the word and excel versions of LibreOffice, since he stores data on a USB, he uses them to modify data, he doesn't like it when google docs makes a copy of your file when you open something from USB.

Hi, thanks for replying ! when I ran, " cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_start_threshold" it turned "cat: /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_start_threshold: No such file or directory"

Unfortunately I don't see any settings in the BIOS/UEFI for it, previously when I ran windows 11, I was able to do it with Lenovo Vantage which was a windows only software, Windows 11 was really slow and laggy so that was why I switched out of it.

Also when I did "echo 45 > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_start_threshold" in sudo, it said "bash: /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_start_threshold: Permission denied "
