How many more hardware configurations is Linux deployed on than MacOS? Would it be in the region of 3-4 orders of magnitude more hardware configurations?
How long has there been a power consumption focus in the linux kernel? The efforts to reduce power usage by the linux kernel pre-date PowerTOP’s first release and wiki tells me that was 2006.
Is Apple way ahead or is it just less popular?

- jolux 5y agoWell sure but there are vendors that advertise Linux computers.
