We're talking idling from the perspective of an actual user at home, so there will obviously be a web browser and some background tasks running.

Idling without anything running, even an OS, is interesting for metrics, but not something realistic for any user.

I agree that we should be comparing real scenarios, but I also notice that my desktop Linux systems tend to idle at <=1% CPU use if I don't have a browser open, so there's probably some genuine room to consider what counts as idle even with an OS running.
