Tuxedo laptop crashing often when on battery with tlp running?

Mine did, and since installing the acpi_call-dkms package from Void Linux the crashes stopped.

I bet there's the similarly-named package for your distro too.

(Will take this post down if laptop crashes again - hasn't happened yet).

List of files in this package:

/usr/share/acpi_call/asus1215n.sh
/usr/share/acpi_call/dellL702X.sh
/usr/share/acpi_call/graphic_card.sh
/usr/share/acpi_call/m11xr2.sh
/usr/share/acpi_call/query_dsdt.pl
/usr/share/acpi_call/turn_off_gpu.sh
/usr/share/acpi_call/windump.c
/usr/share/acpi_call/windump_hack/windump.c
/usr/share/acpi_call/windump_hack/xorg.conf
/usr/share/acpi_call/xorg.conf

My laptop used to crash before because of a mismatched kernel hook, acpi_call-dkms fixed this, I'm assuming because my kernel never had an interface for my BIOS to call the ACPI.
