Linux seriously needs to figure out laptop battery life. Not much chance of going mainstream when installing it means a 50% drop in your battery life. Until then, I'll use Linux on my desktop and just disable all the adware spam shit in Windows on my laptop.

That's the job of the manufacturer. Check out system76, framework and tuxedo laptops

I have not had this issue with three or four laptops running Linux over the years. Power management turned off somehow maybe?

I installed Linux on my old main laptop and battery life went up by like 2 hours lol. You might want to look into battery life solutions like tlp.
