@killyourfm @libreoffice I think we should collect all these ideas and then figure out a way to automate the testing under very specific conditions. What I mean is that we should probably try to change one variable at a time, we could probably come out with some sort of benchmark performing some sort of standardized test, ideally

@baldpolnareffart Automating is way beyond my skillset. Is that something you can do?

@killyourfm Not really, at least in a reasonable amount of time. I wonder if someone like @phoronix could do something similar, it would be interesting. Then we could easily collect more data in a standardized way and do a better quality analysis

@baldpolnareffart @phoronix I'm not POSITIVE, but I think Phoronix Test Suite relies on the sys.power system sensor being available. I have two systems right in front of me where it's not.

You can find our your system's sensors by running:

$ phoronix-test-suite system-sensors

@killyourfm @phoronix
Do you have a machine that you could exclusively dedicate to testing? I would focus on a single device first, isolating variables would be way harder if we started randomly collecting data from different machines.
Oh, another idea to add to the notes, running a test (any, once we define something), both on an SSD and a hard drive, those spinning disks should be more power hungry if I'm not mistaken

@killyourfm @phoronix Very cool! Alright, I would probably start with the Thelio. Just send me an email with all the notes and let's try to figure something out!
