And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

Power management is quite frustrating on Linux, as this is supposed to be tuned by the OEM, but many OEM never bother to tune it on linux.

Even large OEM like dell only ensures all their hardwares "work" on linux, but don't do much further tuning. And many like hp and lenovo sometimes don't even to bother make their hardware work.

This is why buying from small manufactures with good linux support is important. They not only support both windows and linux well, many often come with additional perks like built in country with reasonable labor practice, repairability, upgradablity, no phone tree in support, and supporting Linux desktop development.

Personally, my framework AMD has great battery life on linux by default. And I am sure manufacture like system76, tuxedo, slimbook, starlab, novacustom, etc. all works well.
