  • In a nutshell TLP’s default settings are optimized for battery life upon installation, allowing you to further tweak/adjust to your needs. Whereas acpitool analyzes, but doesn’t optimize without your input.

    As for notifications, I don’t believe either package provides them, especially since they’re both cli tools (TLP has a gui, TLPUI)

    As for notifications, a bash script similar to this would work:

    ac_adapter=$(acpi -a | cut -d' ' -f3 | cut -d- -f1) if [ "$ac_adapter" = "on" ]; then notify-send "AC Adapter" "The AC Adapter is on." else notify-send "AC Adapter" "The AC Adapter is off." fi
