    Is there a Linux distro that actually gets the same battery life on laptops yet? I don’t mean “pretty good” battery life, I mean “as good or better than Windows” battery life.

      Literally any distro. Windows runs so much shit in the background, it just tanks the battery.

        Totally agree that Linux runs soooo much lighter, but Windows still has way more aggressive cpu frequency downscaling. All my laptops from the last runs turboed longer and more often than under Windows. This can be improved with scripts, but is not user friendly.

      Pretty much all of them?

      I had an old surface Pro 4 (with only 4gb ram!?) And it ran so bad on windows.

      I put Debian on it, a bit of tinkering and knowhow required but everything works, touch and all. And it runs so much smoother. And battery does last longer
