Funny with openSUSE I get far better than any Winders on both my laptops (Lenovo , Alienware) , I guess you just have to know Linux .
KDE has power settings that allow the same if not better management as Winders (CPU scaling) <------ you know what this is right ? .

Hey to each his own , don't knock Linux if you don't understand it .

Understand Micro$oft is coming out with a new file system ReFS (Resilient File System) Server 8 , of course y'all knew that .
