The petition is open to all EU resident. The goal is to replace all Windows in all public institution in Europe with a sovereign GNU/Linux.

Is there a Linux distro that actually gets the same battery life on laptops yet? I don’t mean “pretty good” battery life, I mean “as good or better than Windows” battery life.

Pretty much all of them?

I had an old surface Pro 4 (with only 4gb ram!?) And it ran so bad on windows.

I put Debian on it, a bit of tinkering and knowhow required but everything works, touch and all. And it runs so much smoother. And battery does last longer
