My biggest problem is that battery life on my laptop was awful. I tried a few distros and they were all drawing 17-20W from battery doing absolutely nothing. Which means 4-5 hour battery life on an 90Wh battery. In Windows it gets ~10 hours.

I screwed around with it several nights in a row, but nothing really worked.

I’ll run Linux on servers, workstations, and containers; but never again on a laptop unless it’s been tuned by someone else.
