Window Manager Battery Life vs DE
I have tried GNOME and Sway. I expected Sway to have better battery life than GNOME. It turns out that GNOME—on the same distro (Arch), with the same packages installed and power-profiles-daemon on both—gives me significantly better battery life than Sway. Why is this, considering that Sway, as a window manager, has a lot fewer features than GNOME?
