Any AMD system that’s pretty new gets WAY worse battery life on Linux. AMD does some insane optimizations for windows. But it takes a few years before they make their way to Linux.
I think in the last 6 months there’s been some good work on this. But I have a similar AMD 6000 series system to them and I get almost twice the battery life on Linux.
Note, Windows has a “trick” of defaulting to “balanced” mode
That’s probably what most people want on a laptop on battery. Why would I want my CPU running full tilt for nothing? That’d largely why AMDs battery life on Linux is so bad.
