Strangely on my 6 month old Lenovo X1 Carbon Thinkpad I have better battery on Fedora 28 than on Windows 10. I think maybe Windows updates are part of the reason, the fans go mad when there's a WU process running, I don't think i've ever heard the fan going off under Linux.
Workloads aren't massive - on both platforms i've probably 50% Firefox, 30% VSCode, 20% SSH.
I rarely need to boot into Windows bar 2 apps. However the update process is so unbearable I make sure to login once a week just to make sure major updates are done as i've been stuck before trying to login but WU spends 15 minutes finalising some update. Can't believe they made update management worse under W10, it's easiest the best bit about Linux when I show newbies.
