Is there a reason not to just install Linux (and dual boot into windows if you need it for some things)?
I suppose if it’s a work laptop they might not be too pleased with this.

And hardware acceleration is better on Windows, so I usually have web browsing, music, videos, messaging, etc, running on Windows on one monitor or virtual desktop while my terminal is open in the Linux VM on another. Like another commenter mentioned, power management on Windows is still better, too.

- sudosysgen 3y agoIt's a pain in the ass to set up sometimes, but you can pretty much always get better battery life in Linux nowadays. Even with hybrid graphics laptops.
