Linux is pretty green at least
Well I can argue with that because Linux systems usually consume more energy than identical systems with other operating systems though they are probably less green due to having a lot of cloud and ad related tech built in.
Extremely dependent on a number of factors, mostly hardware and configuration. I had a Thinkpad T480 and on a stock fedora install it definitely died faster than W10, but after setting up TLP and Powertop I squeezed ~2 more hours of use out of it than Windows could manage. Ditto for my framework 13, I get all day battery life on NixOS but when I’ve tested windows on it I lose a few hours immediately
