Every time I talk to someone about battery life on Linux vs. Windows
it turns out they aren't even comparing similar hardware. Or if they
are, they're comparing completely dissimilar workloads (e.g. compiling
a ton of stuff while it is running Linux, basically using Chrome to
look at the internet in Windows). Please note I am not saying you are
incorrect. I am simply pointing out that statements like that without
quantifiable data do nothing other than spread misconception.
Mind, it's not all the kernel's fault. libva/vdpau support for GPUs
aren't shipped with Fedora proper, and when it's installed, GStreamer/
clutter-gst bugs keep breaking support in Videos, when it's not simply
unsupported (in Wayland).
The latter parts are all being worked on, but as long as it's an optional
third-party download, we won't be seeing the improvements any time soon.
