From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

x86 isn't open either and a lot of people like the M1's efficiency (I'm an Asahi Linux user)

How is the battery life on Asahi Linux compared to MacOS?

A lot of people say it's good although personally it hasn't been a huge improvement for me, I'm guessing there's certain hardware-software integration in macOS and software optimizations that contributes to the battery life that isn't happening in Linux. It's dying less quickly than my HP laptop though. I also tend to not close stuff so that may be a problem.
