Windows laptops generally get trashy battery life, and if this going to tank it further, I'd just run Linux full-time on my family laptop and call it a day.

The only reason we had windows was my wife's comfortability and sometimes zoom glitches out on linux.

You have any tips? My power consumption on battery is ~30% higher on linux than they were on windows

Buy laptops with better Linux support.
