All my Linux devices do a lot better under Linux than under Windows; Lenovo X220, MS Surface and GPD Pocket all run both but battery life is miles ahead of Windows for my use (programming and browsing for programming). I use Ubuntu with i3wm. i3wm is, I think, where most of the difference comes from; it is very light. And, imho, much easier to work with than mouse driven stuff.
