Linux may perform just as well as Windows on the same hardware, but it won’t necessarily have as much battery life. Linux’s battery usage has improved dramatically over the years. The Linux kernel has gotten better, and Linux distributions automatically adjust many settings when you’re using a laptop.
Is Linux more power efficient than Windows?
Generally speaking, Linux uses less power at idle than Windows, and a little more than Windows when the system is pushed to its logical limits. … If you are using a GUI on Linux and you are not using an accelerated GPU driver (or a poor GPU driver), updating the display and graphical applications will use more energy.
Why Linux consumes more power?
In windows, the GPU providers like NVIDIA provide great driver support and hence efficiently use the GPU but in Linux as there is no official driver, efficiency is not to that extend and your GPU keeps on working even when there is no need, making it consume more and more power and hence less battery backup.
