Hi Bas. It is common to see battery usage differences between Linux
and Windows. In the past it was usually to Linux's advantage, however,
with the advent of Composting window managers in Linux now Windows
often gets the better battery life. Using a composting windows manager
in Windows can will reduce it's battery life to closer to Linux's, and
disabling composing can increase Linux's battery life. There are other
tips as well, including lowering screen brightness, disabling
wifi/bluetooth, and others (just google it). The powertop application
can help the user figure out where his battery life is going.
