It's quite interesting to see all these people switching to Linux on the desktop and realizing it works. Some of us are using Linux on the desktop since more than ... a quarter of a century.

Everytime I read such an article I'm thinking "duh, of course it works" but apparently people still think it's not the case.

I do really, really, really wonder what's going to happen once battery usage is more efficient on Linux than on Windows. For in every thread about Linux on the desktop, there seems to be an endless flow of comments saying "I can get 11 hours of battery time on Windows, but I only get 10h40 minutes on Linux".

Linux powers billions, if not tens of billions of devices by now: trust me, it can power your desktop/laptop just fine.

It is a bit of a pain to set up though, especially for a laptop - I just switched to fedora+ gnome, and going through configuring the power settings to allow for suspend-then-hibernate was annoying.

Figuring out the luks + page file + hibernate resume configuration is non intuitive, and is only viable for me to figure out due to my Linux based day job.

Probably could have gone bazzite and had things just work, but I need a Linux dev box locally and was not sure about dev on bazzite.
