This doesn't match my experience. My previous three laptops (two AMD Lenovo Thinkpads, one Intel Sony VAIO) had essentially the same battery life running Linux as running Windows.

You're lucky, my thinkpad x13 gen 2 AMD gets 5 hours on modern Fedora vs. 9 or 10 on Windows.

I have an AMD thinkpad and get maybe 1/4 the battery life on Linux as I do when I boot inti Windows, did you have to do any tweaking to achieve that?
