The whole forum here is bashing Windows for being thermal / performance disaster compared to apple products. I do not see how a laptop running Linux will evade the same fate (at least the bashing :).
When I switched my desktop from Windows 10 -> Debian, I noticed the fans ran less (until video games). And I pretty much ran the same apps. 1/2 of the complaining is a lack of being able to choose/clean up that is running!
On Qubes OS my P16 has abysmal battery life, but that's OK! I own my system, it is more secure than the two main slap fighter camps ITT, and the battery is really only a 30-min UPS to me (I always plug in). I never understood thin underpowered craptop enjoyers and their smug eight hour battery life aura, like... just use a pen and paper notebook at that point!
