Shout-out to @Mario_Limonciello ! With the PPD from his COPR ([mariolimonciello/power-profiles-daemon Copr](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mariolimonciello/power-profiles-daemon/)) I get \< 3W idle with the following setup:

- Lowest display brightness
- Keyboard backlight off
- Power saver
- Bluetooth off
- Wifi on
- 125% display scaling
- 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 1x HDMI expansion card
- WD Black SN770 1TB
- 2x Kingston ValueRAM KVR56S46BS6-8

This is on a pretty much stock Fedora 39 with the following changes:

- Installed PPD from [mariolimonciello/power-profiles-daemon Copr](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mariolimonciello/power-profiles-daemon/)
- Enable Firefox HW acceleration as explained [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox#Hardware_video_acceleration) and [here](https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia)
- Disable NMI watchdog for power savings (not sure how much value this adds): see [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management#Disabling_NMI_watchdog)
- Enable HDMI card auto-suspend|: see [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management#USB_autosuspend)
