God, I wish that were true.

Ask me how many times I've effed up the battery and sleep configuration upgrading Linux on a desktop vs a laptop.

Relative to desktops, laptops tend to be quirky little things because the heavy constraints of form factor, power, and weight result in engineering trade-offs and outright hacks that aren't necessary in the desktop ecosystem.

Okay. You’ve immediately alienated all but the smallest minority of users to draw a distinction that most people just flat out don’t experience.

It's not invalid though. Those are the reasons I stopped trying to use Linux on a laptop.

Linux is not relevant to the discussion.
