Funnily enough I just answered another thread with said flag: [[TRACKING] State of HiDPI on Linux - #2 by Cthos](http://community.frame.work/t/state-of-hidpi-on-linux/8301/2)

I’m getting _close_ to 5 hours, depending on what I’m doing / how hard I’m pushing docker. I’ve not done any specific power tweaking. I’d say it’s between 4-5 hours on average for me.
