Has power management for laptops gotten any better in the last couple of years on desktop Linux? I distro hopped for a year 3ish years ago but just didn’t like the fairly significant reduction in battery life.
I've been getting fairly good battery life on arch and popOS on my laptop. Think it depends a bit on what laptop you've got as well. If I were to guess I'd say my current pop install gets ~10% less battery life than on windows, while I was probably even closer than that on arch after a bit of tinkering.
