    Battery management on a laptop?

    That was the entire reason I started messing with Linux in 2011, but once I finally got full root privileges, Linux still denied me write privileges to the battery controller.

    It wasn’t all software, at least not back then. Turns out, after looking up the specs on the battery management chip, it required a proprietary physical adapter to enable write access. ☹️

    So, if battery management is now feasible under Linux, what magical software are people using now?
