>the monitor draws 30W even in standby

That's absurd. There are regulations on standby power.

https://dl.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_electronics_...

>Power Consumption

>0.2 W (Off Mode)

>0.3 W (Standby Mode)

Doesn't seem to be an isolated case:

>UP3216Q, drawing 23 watts in Standby? (2019).

I guess a takeaway from OP is to measure your actual standby power draw.

Author doesn’t even compare it to a second solution.

Interesting to know, but I just use a hot key to attempt reconfiguration if something goes wrong. Works for me even if it’s not a sign Linux is ready for non-technical users.

See kanshi, which has a similar rule matching approach.

im sensitive to coil whine and i hear it everywhere : computers, light bulbs, phone chargers, you name it and if im in the same room as electronics i hear a high pitched squealing that others seem not to notice or care about. its inescapable and it sucks

So once again you need to DYI your monitor configuration for Linux that for some reason works out-of-the-box pretty much in Windows and MacOSX

sigh

And that's for X11, which was built in a 70s model while Wayland leisurely moves forward
