What about power management? I've heard that elementary is not as good as MacOSX at that.

What about power management? I've heard that elementary is not as good as MacOSX at that.
- izacus 10y agoThat depends on hardware (and amount of proprietary firmwares) really. On newer Macs where a lot of things are non-standard and controlled via EFI, it's going to be tough - same as BootCamp where Apple doesn't provide drivers for powersaving. On things like ThinkPads, XPS Developer Editions, etc. the battery is rather comparable to their Windows counterparts for most cases.
- achikin 10y agoSurprised to hear that Apple does not provide power management for other operating systems. Are there any recent benchmarks for macOS versus Windows in terms of power saving?
- rcarmo 10y agoOn this chromebook, it's OK. I get 6-8 hours coding, same as under Lubuntu. But I intend to use this on a beefy desktop crammed with VMs and Docker containers, so that's not a problem for me.
