not really an issue, but I am wondering how the battery life is when running arch linux on your kindle?

any insight would be appreciated. this is really cool, thanks!

Hi,

I haven't been using this Arch container any serious work (the SoC in the Kindle is very slow and the screen's refresh rate makes it uncomfortable to do anything other than reading from it) so I cannot tell how fast the battery goes down under heavy use I'm guessing that you'll get a few hours of battery life if you constantly run on 100% CPU, but for less demanding tasks the battery should last for a couple days (if you keep it active all the time, without suspending it with the power button)

Note that the container won't consume any battery power when you're not actively using it via a KTerm/SSH. It only takes up storage space on the device, there's no impact on the baterry when you're using the kindle as Amazon intended
