    Linux seriously needs to figure out laptop battery life. Not much chance of going mainstream when installing it means a 50% drop in your battery life. Until then, I’ll use Linux on my desktop and just disable all the adware spam shit in Windows on my laptop.

      I have not had this issue with three or four laptops running Linux over the years. Power management turned off somehow maybe?
