Skylake's Linux power management is dreadful you shouldn't buy until it's fixed
Skylake's Linux power management is dreadful you shouldn't buy until it's fixedWhy is this phrased as being an issue with Skylake, rather than an issue with Linux?  That is, why not "Linux's power management on Skylake is dreadful and you shouldn't install it until it's fixed?"Also, as someone who is running a custom compiled Linux 4.4 on Skylake, what's the best way to check what idle state is being used?  Idle stats with 'powertop' shows the majority of idle time being spent in C8-SKL.  Is this the same as the PC8 he's talking about?
