My fren installed Linux Mint on my cheap LP laptop six months ago, it works fine. But since a few days ago, it's shutting down without warning at 70% battery level. Computer is one year old, I only use it casually. How do I run a battery test? I don't have HP Support Assistant downloaded. I have read that other people had same problem, even with replacement battery..

Are you using Mate or Cinnamon?

Can you run uname -a in a terminal and copy/paste the output?

Linux Mint

There should be a teensy bit more info than that, fren...

Something along the lines of:

Linux expandedAnus 5.4.0-89-generic #100-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 24 10:50:10 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I think mint has neofetch in as standard, so if you could run neofetch in a terminal and copy/past the output of that as well, it would help.
