Maybe someone using Linux on Mac could tell us about the battery life they get.

I use XPS-13 (4k display version), and certainly don't get the battery life promised by Dell.

Ha! Sitting here with 15.10 running Gnome 3 on a 2013 Macbook Pro Retina. The battery life is noticeably worse than under OS X. I'd say I get about 2.5-3 hours of out it, unless I drop the screen brightness all the way down. But then how do I appreciate the beautiful screen? :)

Same here with Mint 17 on a 2010 MBP. The headphone jack lights up red and won't turn off. Weird...
