Well usually laptops don’t come from the OEM with Linux, so if you slap Ubuntu on there and the power management stinks, that’s on you.

Laptops with practical 10+ hours battery life usually come with Linux from the factory. Eg the google Pixelbook Go, which gets about 10-12 hours on a battery half as large as the one we are discussing. The System76 has mostly just thrown a gigantic battery at the problem.
