A couple of years ago, two or so, I made my private daily a dual boot Win 10 and Ubuntu machine. And how do I love Ubuntu! It is what I expect an OS to be. Boots with out issues, doesn't crash, runs all the software I really need and care about, is owned by me, no cloud accounts needed or asked for, updates are painless and as far as I know no telemetry being sent anywhere (please correct me if I'm wrong on that).
Windows is there for the odd games Steam didn't port to Linux, and to compartamentalize my son's use from mine. Heck, I hacked around less in Ubuntu than I did back the day installing Windows 2000, or to figure out how to make a Win 10 Pro instance run with local user accounts only.
And battery life on my X1 Extreme Gen 2 is bad under either OS, I deactivated hybrid graphics and only use the GeForce card. Otherwise, I just never got dual / external monitors to work through Thunderbolt. Plus, it is used as a gaming device, so I don't care about on-board Intel graphics at all.
