It will take you a lot of work, but you can get similar or better battery life in Linux. Even for the most twisted of laptops.

However, without good GPU support, proper battery life is impossible.

Even without GPU, we're getting better battery life than many x86 laptops already.

If it's anything like my laptop, that's because the Linux nvidia driver doesn't downclock as much as it can on Windows. I believe that isn't much of an issue on Asahi because until the drivers are up and running, it just keeps the GPU powered off (though now I can't find where I saw that, so take it with a grain of salt)

My dell produces noise like a hurricane if I open a second tab in Chrome.
