From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The best Linux is Windows 11 with WSL. It will work nicely with your battery.
Ew
Imagine giving away user control and privacy for more battery life.
Imagine buying an expensive thing and using 10% of its capabilities.
That'd be true if I were a Winblows tryhard. Thankfully, it's not the case. :^)
I keep being surprised by how much the thought of wsl disgusts me
Controversial, but when it comes to hibernating the system, it actually is.
Unfortunately Windows suffers from the s0ix power consumption bugs that'll drain your battery faster than Linux does, so neither is a very good experience. The current state of modern PC suspend behaviour is just rather terrible.
