Happy to do this. I wasn't sure how people felt about Terminal screenshots but I agree it could be helpful. I'll add a screenshot shortly. > Would it also be worth mentioning the new gnome battery bench[1]for users to > test out their battery life before and after setting the tunables? (this > might even be a good follow-up article, rather than jamming it in this one.) I took a look at g-b-b. It's not very pretty, nor is it clear to me how to run it or what it does. So I decided not to try to put it into this article specifically. Admittedly, I didn't do any research on g-b-b before I installed and ran it. But as a casual user who didn't know anything about it, I found it hard to understand. Of course, that means it could benefit from the article! I guess my question is whether it's ready for such a feature article. > > It also needs an appropriate featured image. > I filed a ticket for this in the design team queue [2].
