- cpursley 9mo agoMaybe. And then what’s battery life like - half, one 3rd?
- c0n5pir4cy 9mo agoMostly similar - sometimes better, sometimes worse. It's not 2005 anymore.
- leetnewb 9mo agoI have an x86 HP tablet that dual boots Windows 11 and Linux. I don't have specific numbers, but battery life is better on the Linux side.
- Orygin 9mo agoIt's better than Windows, but obviously worse than Mac (both hardware and software reasons). My laptops don't kill themselves waking up in my bags so I could argue it's at least 5x better than windows. Things moved on nicely in 20 years, you should try it for yourself.
- cpursley 9mo agoWhere did I say I haven’t?
- Orygin 9mo agoYou wouldn't be asking questions like this if you had, you'd know the same answers found in this thread.
- cpursley 9mo agoJust like the other replier, people who put words into others mouths are extremely annoying. And in both of your cases, come off as fanatical. I'd love to run Linux on a laptop (and have tried many times) but have actual work to get done.
- Orygin 9mo agoSeems like you're just being obtuse for fun, which I also find extremely annoying.
- altern8 9mo agoWhat is the deal with waking up randomly with the lid closed on Windows? I can't figure out why Windows has these crazy bugs that aren't addressed, aren't a huge company with almost infinite resources..? Why can't they make Windows work properly, it's been 40 years... :-/
- Orygin 9mo agoAFAIK, Microsoft and/or Intel pushed to remove the usual sleep S3 state and use a less sleepy state to be able to access network and display notifications. As if it was a tablet or a Macbook. This is (of course) badly done, and tested as well the rest of Windows, so it results in laptops waking up in bags, choking thermally, and not going back to sleep.
