      is this a thing?

      Honestly, I have no clue. With DWM I had like 3-4 hrs at max and now I am using DWL for 6-8 hrs.

      What is also noticeable, is that closing the lid puts the laptop actually into sleep. Because with DWM it continued using the battery as if it was actually used.

      I am not advanced user enough to tell what exactly caused this.

      I’ve also noticed a dramatic improvement in battery life with wayland. Been using it since F21 it’s very efficient imo
