hi, first time user. Installed gentoo on my laptop and everything went well. BUT, my battery health decreased by over 20%. Before running Code: | emerge -ask --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world | , battery health was at 93%. After it finished, battery health dropped down to 70%... Pretty upsetting considering this is pretty much a brand new device. Is this expected? Was there another option I should have run, like --jobs or something? The laptop got pretty hot but a 20+ percent decrease seems rather excessive. |

How are you measuring 'battery health'?

lilfetus,
Welcome to Gentoo.
Battery health ls a complex thing to assess. It's related to the number of charge/discharge cycles among other things.
Do you mean 'state of charge' as indicated by your system? _________________ Regards,
