Not true. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.linuxdeploy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.linu... In chroot'ed mode, I do not find that my battery life is any less outstanding than without the chroot. It's not easy to support dual boot, and I would not be surprised to find out that booting into Linux directly would compromise your battery life. But I would be equally unsurprised to find out that it does not. It matters mostly that you need to have a properly configured kernel. Not sure if it's possible to share one kernel between android and non-android. But I'm fairly certain that the bits that make booting into regular linux impossible are not the ones that control longevity and battery life. (A little bit fairly certain, anyway.)
