How bad is battery life on Linux laptop?

I will need to get a laptop in the foreseeable future, and I really want to stick to Linux. However, I may need to be out-of-home for 12+ hours straight in a day. After some research, it seems people are generally not that impressed with battery life on Linux?...

We have a new bikeshed: what color do you prefer or would you rather see it burn? (openela.org)

A suggestion for a new piece of software, for the developers out there willing to get their hands dirty a bit.

[Shower Thought] I was never "good" at Linux CLI, ChatGPT has helped tremendously (kbin.social)

I'll be honest, I've always tinkered with ubuntu and even older versions of linux (Anyone remember Mandrake? Yeah I'm old lol), I had even built my own HTPC at one point many many years ago....

What exactly does systemd do?

I am a Linux user, but I don’t really know how most things work, even after years of casual use on my Main, I just started getting into Devuan and wondered then, what exacly does systemd do that most distros have it? What even is init freedom? And why should I care?
