I want to install TLP because it offers a few features missing from XFCE,
mainly, enforcing % cap on battery charging at least on some laptop models
and high performance vs power saving.
At the moment I mostly keep the battery out of my notebook, charged to 50-60%.
On the alternative OS the battery charge could be set to maximum or protective.
I see that the XFCE power manager and the TLP power manager touch some of the same settings.
In non-Mint forums I see conflicting opinions on whether the two coexist or conflict.
Any recent news or experience
Should xfce-power-manager be disabled when using TLP
In doubt, I'll wait.
[Ulyssa 20.1, xfce4-power-manager 1.6, the available tlp is at 1.3.1]

Re: XFCE vs. TLP power managers: friends or enemies?
FWIW I have no problem at all running both tlp and powertop with either xfce4-power-manager or on lxqt with lxqt-powermanagement.

Re: XFCE vs. TLP power managers: friends or enemies?
Thank you manyroads! For everyone's info, powertop is a comprehensive originally Intel power management CLI app around since 2008, should work on most chips (I had never heard of it before today! ), tlp seems broadly similar in spirit, tlpui is a GUI front end for tlp, still somewhat experimental.
