Well I can argue with that because Linux systems usually consume more energy than identical systems with other operating systems though they are probably less green due to having a lot of cloud and ad related tech built in.
That’s not ture atleast on my system, I played modded Minecraft for 4 hours on performance mode and I still have 15% to spare, I also watch BCS for an season and it’s only drain 60% on power saving mode
I used win10 1 years and I don’t remember exactly what the power consumption is like but I think it probably worse because of win10 use more on CPU and RAM for anti-malware and telemetry
Yes, at least on battery powered PCs. Other kinds of machines may be more efficient on Linux but I guess these are mostly cases when there are no big and well developed proprietary solutions for them.
I was talking about comparing the efficiency between operating systems. That requires the use case to be the same. Comparing different use cases is unfair.

Did you check the consumption on other operating systems?

Is this true?

I imagine it varies wildly by distro, hardware, use-case, etc.
I don’t have any information that proves it. I think in this list only hardware matters.
Surely use-case is important? Someone running a server that’s on 24/7 vs. someone running it on a laptop or desktop that they shut down every day.
