    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.

      I’m running Arch Linux on a Framework Laptop 13 and this is my main work notebook. The hardware is solid (except battery performance) and Arch does whatever you want it to do. I’m using a LTS kernel and GNOME on Wayland. GNOME has its idiosyncrasies but is great otherwise.
