FWIW I get better battery life with ubuntu.

Are you comparing against the default vendor image that's filled with adware or a clean Windows install with only drivers? There is a significant power use difference and the latter case has always been more power efficient for me compared to the Linux setup. Powering down Nvidia GPU has never fully worked with Linux for me.

How? What's your laptop brand and model? I've never had better battery life with any machine using ubuntu.
