I will need to get a laptop in the foreseeable future, and I really want to stick to Linux. However, I may need to be out-of-home for 12+ hours straight in a day. After some research, it seems people are generally not that impressed with battery life on Linux?

The laptop does not need to do anything heavy duty, as I will remote back into my already very beefy desktop back home.

I guess a common solution to this light use case is M2 MacBook if one wants to completely throw battery concern out of the window. Well… let’s just say it’s a love-hate relationship.

    I’m sporting 8-10h on my Tuxedo Pulse 15 (Gen 1)

    At least with AMD my runtime was always pretty good under Linux. Since some years at least. Was on Intel before and always had worse battery life with Linux - most probably because of the additional NVidia GPU, that didn’t play nicely with Linux power management
