Thank you for the reply. You are correct, I understand it’s a system service and something that people wouldn’t really notice if it’s been updated or maybe their distro has recently migrated over from pulse audio. Hell maybe even unknowingly following some random guide while trying to do something or fix something. All that we know from OP is that they are asking how to tell if they are affected.
My question was as basic and as generic as it could be. Has your battery life been quite poor as of late? As in have you had to plug in your system more throughout the day?
Regardless of technical experience or aptitude most people would notice a change in the norm of using something they use daily. If they don’t, there wouldn’t be any questions and it would be the normal day to day.
Now my thought process was to see what they said, yes or no for the battery life. And then to get more info to put together something they could follow and either confirm impact from the bug or not.
Nice okay, alright so just wondering what distro you running with and what hardware do you have?
We can break it down from there to see if you are being affected or not.
