  • Its pretty common knowledge so I dont feel like I need to cite battery life comparison videos.

    Laptop manufacturers do a lot at the driver level to optimise battery life. In linux most laptops are using 3rd party drivers with very few having vendor support. This plus windows having a more mature power saving system.To top it off CPU sleep states dont work as well as on windows because vendor did not put the effort in.

    Theoretical linux could have better battery life if the manufacturer supported its drivers we see this with the legion go s windows vs linux and the steamdeck windows vs linux.
