Everything I saw on the subject point to the other way. I believed that too but it's a common complaint for Linux users that their battery life is worse. TLP does a good job of narrowing the field between Windows and Linux though. On this machine, the difference is about 2-5mW per hour which doesn't seem like much but adds up. Notice that this article admits to the problem. If you follow their instructions though, you will indeed see a benefit in power consumption: <https://www.maketecheasier.com/increase-linux-laptop-battery-life/> >> 2) Linux doesn't support hardware encryption on OPAL drives (resulting >> in a terrible performance hit if you decide to encrypt). > > I saw another of your message explaining issues about it, but I never > saw anything like that anywhere else.

It appears that Linux finally added support for OPAL v2 encryption in August 2023 (late but better than never). With that in mind, feel free to explain how to enable it in Linux for the benefit of all this forum's readers. >> 3) Linux's update system is superior as long as there is no long delay >> between updates, but can break things otherwise because they always >> overwrite whereas Windows's big updates install the operating system >> anew preserving settings and applications. > > You are comparing two different things.

You can update the operating system itself within Windows Update but update everything else through the command line using that tool. It's not as good as what Linux offers since it doesn't rely on a small set of repositories, but it's an improvement. -- CrudeSausage
