My Matebook 14 (Intel 2021) configurations

This configuration is used on ArchLinux with Gnome + Wayland (1-1 gestures & fractional scaling at 150%).
It tries to maximize battery life: currently reaching (_up to a max. of_) 13/14 hours of use, mainly programming software (with the "battery care" set at 80%).
Another goal is to try to keep a system theme as equal as possible among all applications.

N.B.

• The files in /boot/loader are used for systemd-boot and must be edited
• The files in /etc/sudoers.d/ use my username, so should be edited
• The changes of /etc/dconf/... must be applied using sudo dconf update
• When the battery reaches 5% the system goes into hibernation, this behavior can be changed in the /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lowbat.rules file
