How does Arch run in a laptop? I have a solid Windows laptop that that I’d like to test with Linux but I’m concerned about battery life. I’ve tried Ubuntu and Linux Mint but they seemed to drain battery like no other.
It depends. It’s mostly good (quite probably better than under Windows), but if there’s unsupported hardware that’s less continuously (which it shouldn’t be) it can drain the battery pretty fast. But that wouldn’t be any different under Windows…
Nobara is great if you’re a gamer. Also if you’re not a gamer. ; )
