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.

    It’s very dependent on the laptop. Some ThinkPad get better battery life than on Linux because a lot of kernel devs use them.

      That’s new info for me thanks. Never knew thinkpad can excel in this department.

        It depends on the ThinkPad. They’re not all created equally and the quality between models varies wildly.
