I understand. I don't like KDE. Too "busy" for me. But that's the advantage 
of Linux with the ability to choose and use what you like. 

As for battery health I can just type inxi -B in a terminal. Now I see I 
have a discrepency. The BIOS shows "excellent battery health" and inxi -B 
shows 67% health on my newest laptop. I'm guessing inxi -B is right since 
I'm only getting about 7 hours battery life on this Latitude 5300. It's 
supposed to be somewhere around ten hours (or even 12).

inxi is useful for a lot of things.
