I don’t care why it’s better. Whose fault is it that Linux gets worse battery life on every computer that also runs Windows or MacOS?

Don’t try to act like that is the discussion we’ve been having.
You’re holding Linux on x86 to a Mac on ARM standard.
It’s fine if Linux doesn’t meet your standards, but don’t try to act like that’s Linux‘s fault and not your standards’.
Nothing x86 meets your standards, so save the criticism.

> I don’t care why
So you're clueless about computers and your opinion can be disregarded.
Is there some subject you actually know about that you'd like to share?
You are attributing to the software and OS a difference that exists because of hardware.
You can’t seriously sit here and say Linux battery life on x86 doesn’t reach your par when you’re comparing it to a completely different computing architecture.
You’re comparing apples to oranges and complaining the oranges are more sour than the apples.
Run Asahi Linux and tell me how it goes.
