  • While this is true, the meme suggests (to me) that, just as in real life, a lamp that is on consumes more energy than a lamp that is off. In addition, in the case of a monitor with a back light, every pixel in the scene will consume the same amount of energy (assuming all ‘pixels’ in a monitor panel consume the same energy) regardless of what is rendered.

    Taking all that into consideration, not only does the lamp not consume anymore power when on, the lamp itself does not consume any more power than any other object rendered in the scene. I believe this is only true for when: 1) a monitor has an always-om backlight 2) it is not an HDR rated monitor and 3) we are only considering energy consumed during the production of light, not while rendering.

    (I know the meme is not serious, but I’m having fun 🙂)












  • To achieve this you will need a tiling window manager like Sway, Hyprland, or i3 and try to use as many CLI-based programs as possible for everything else. For browsers, there are projects like Nyxt (and some others I can’t remember) that allow you to use vim or emacs like shortcuts to browse around.

    However most GUI apps probably won’t support an all-keyboard workflow so you will still need one. Depending on what software you use, however, you could make the vast majority of your regular computing mouse-free
