> 3. Suspend and battery usage are, in general, still a decade behind the competition. For suspend there's been some regressions a few years back, but I use it all the time now on both Dell Latitude and Thinkpad X without any issue. Battery usage is way better with Linux than with Windows, at least on the Latitude where I can easily compare with my Windows 10 using colleagues. It's not even close, and I also avoid the constant fan noise ;) Now there's one thing to keep in mind: if you don't use a pre-installed Linux distro (which I don't, I use Debian stable) then you are the system integrator ;) No way around this. But on well supported models like the Latitude and Thinkpad at least this integration is very easy: for me I just install the "tlp" (The Laptop Project) package, and because I only use SSD I aggressively idle the disk. This configuration I did years ago and simply reuse it. Done.
