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?
