Actually Linux consistently got worse battery life everywhere I've installed it, PCs and Macs. And it often had quirks with things not working workout much fiddling.
I may go back someday when I'm retired, with free time on my hands. Or when forced off the easier proprietary OS's by a thousand cuts.
- Miraste 4y agoWith laptops it’s best to go with a System76 or a Framework or something else with manufacturer-tested drivers and optimizations, rather than installing on a non-Linux machine. There’s just too much work put into modern power efficiency for a one-size-fits-all OS to match. The most recent run in I had with this was an HP OLED laptop I bought, put Linux on, and found out that the kernel had no ability to adjust brightness on the OLED so it was at maximum all the time. I had to return it.
- fiedzia 4y ago+1 for buying something with Linux preinstalled. Beside the ones mentioned there is Dell XPS and HP dev one available, so there is a choice.
