Is there a metric for battery performance while the machine’s asleep?
That’s been my only gripe in moving from a MacBook Air to an XPS running Ubuntu a little over a year ago.
Battery life is comparable in active usage. But if I close my XPS lid and then, for whatever reason, don’t use it for a day or two, I’ll be at zero battery.
I don’t remember this ever being something to even think about with my Mac laptop.

It often takes some tinkering to get hibernation to work, if at all. That is why your computer kills the battery in a few days.
