From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's also going to charge the battery.
Some laptops allow for controlling level kf charge. For example I keep my battery at 65% to prolong its life. If its supported, you should be able to set it through /sys/class/power_supply/bat0/charge_level
~~i dont rember file name and path exactly but shouldnlook like this~~
Edit: Correct filename is /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold
I do the same. My laptop had a weird bug where it would reset that value to 100 every reboot, so I made a systemd service to write it at every boot.
my laptop does reset it every reboot.
If you are using KDE, you can just use KDE's battery manager to set it there.
otherwise, your solution is good too.
Even in KDEs battery manager, I was having the same issue.
Correct, but the laptop will be running off AC.
But the concern is about the battery, so that's kinda moot.
Electronics cannot run on AC voltage. That giant power brick converts it to DC.
Sure, any that you plug into the wall are running from an AC source, it gets converted to DC but the source is AC.
So every phone is AC powered because it can be plugged into a wall….? You understand how stupid that argument is yeah?
I mean, while plugged into the wall yes it's being powered by AC.
