My laptop on battery lasts about 6 to 7 hours on Linux. It’s about an hour shorter than Windows but nowhere near “drained fast” territory.
Now… if I use X11 that’s a whole other story! Somehow the battery life is cut in half because of higher GPU usage, and I still can’t figure out what causes it.
Haha. I have. It’s awesome. But systemd boot is a victim of lack of secure boot.
On the one hand. The lack of grub fucking with the windows boot sector is awesome. But the lack of secure boot is kinda annoying. Especially if you dual boot.
Woah there! You’re presenting facts and logic to this circlejerk community!
Wow there! This user shared personal experiences with GNU/Linux that you refer to as facts and logic to propogate even more circlejerk!

I just installed grub because LINUX. grub-customizer does a good job of keeping my menuentries consistent between updates.
