Don't forget literally all the battery values are specified as Windows 11.

  Not literally all; they say > 7 days > Standby without charging > Wi-Fi connected on Ubuntu (I'm unimpressed with listing all the "active" battery life listings with Windows, mind; I just want us to be precise in our criticisms.)

    I don't want "standby", I want suspend where the only power usage is keeping the ram alive...

  Can you really blame them for that?
  • yjftsjthsd-h 6mo ago
    Yes. Easily. If you proclaim up front that a device is "Linux first", it seems reasonable to suggest that maybe you should tell us about its performance on Linux.
    • IshKebab 6mo ago
      Yeah I mean I don't think they want to say because the numbers are going to be bad, and it's probably not within their power to fix it. They should probably give the Linux numbers after the Windows ones at least tbf, even if they are bad.

        I am much more likely to fault them for omitting important information specifically to hide a weak point of the product rather than out of laziness.
        • IshKebab 6mo ago
          It's not a weak point of their product; it's a weak point of Linux.

            It's really not. Leaving aside Android because that has a very different userspace, Chromebooks have excellent battery life even when not running ChromeOS, because they have proper drivers and someone actually bothered optimizing for power efficiency. And there are plenty of cases of people switching a machine from Windows to some Linux distro and significantly improving battery life (see elsewhere in this comment section). So no, if a given laptop is described as the vendor as "Linux first" and has poor battery life, that's on them.
