TBF Linux still isn't that great when it comes to battery life...

That used to be true in my experience until Win10. But lately I've seen lots of people complaining about their laptops just losing all battery with Windows 11 due to constant background tasks. Not to mention that Linux has improved power consumption and suspend/hibernate somewhat since then.

‘Let’s finish setting up your device’

Lets not.

windows claiming to have a long battery life when I know for a fact that linux uses next to none when sitting idle pisses me off the most

Depends on the device. My GPD Win Max 2 can push over eight hours on moderate load and it's a small x86 netbook. That's pretty impressive for that architecture.

Most of the heavy lifting comes from the AMD 8840U chip, though. It can go as low as 15W of power draw, officially (unofficially, you can underclock and -volt and push it even lower).

And by finishing they mean; lets ask you the same questions you said no to. Again. For the third time.

Maybe later 😊

353rd time

For real how do I disable that shit? The most recent got rid of the skip button, and I had to let it fail to log into a Microsoft account like 3 times before it let me start saying no to shit.

Starting the countdown to when it just says "we're putting all your shit on the cloud and forcing you to Windows 11 now, cuz fuck you, that's why."

Its good here. We binge watch movies all night on our laptop, battery lasts a long time

Does Microsoft want you to date a PC or something?

I bought a mini pc recently. It came with windows. The only reason I even booted into windows was because I wasn’t quick enough with the bios button to install Lunix

Preparing for the future.

Huuuuuh? In which universe do you live?

He is right in the sense that windows device drivers tend to be more power efficient & as a result a fresh Windows install lasts a longer time, however if we compared Linux with TLP vs. a 6 month old Windows install, I think the results would be interesting.
