Okay I am very confused… where are these characters from? Sorry for my ignorance.

Yep I’m looking at system76. Not sure about how valid the 14h battery life claim is though. That seems awfully optimistic on a 10-core Intel chip.

Some addition power management tools I suppose?

That’s new info for me thanks. Never knew thinkpad can excel in this department.

Things you mentioned about windows before “etc” can actually be disabled through group policy or other means. It’s an annoyance nonetheless. But after ~30 minutes of tweaking after a new install, windows is not that bad these days.

Anyway, if I don’t play games I’ll probably be Linux all the way. Most things today are web based anyway.

But how is gaming on Linux nowadays, if you may elaborate? I have top of the line hardwares but the games I play easily max out their usage. I know there are things like translation layer, but I’m afraid the performance hit may be not ideal…
