HP Pavilion DV6 Laptop - does it hate Linux?

[Ali Linx (amjjawad)]

Hi everyone,

I have HP Pavilion DV6 Laptop - Intel Core i5 (1st generation) with 4GB RAM
and 500GB HDD and ATI Radeon Graphics + Intel Built-in Graphics (on Windows
7, I can choose between those two).

I bought it few years ago with Windows 7 and can't remember when, I
installed Linux on it.

Long story short and I'm still shocked while writing this and surprised but
that is the truth:
This machine works 'better' in Windows 7 than Linux on these area:
a- More Battery Life in Windows 7 (almost 2 hours while only 1 with Linux).

b- Less Heat and Fan Noise in Windows 7 (with Linux, heat sometimes go
above 70c and while doing nothing, it is 60c - 65c).

c- Brightness (can't adjust it with Linux like I do with Windows 7)

And to my surprise, my old test machine starts up and shuts down even
faster O_o
Check my signature to find out the Hardware Details of my Test Machine.

Regardless what version I use, both Ubuntu and Lubuntu, all the same
performance.

I hate to say this but Linux on this machine is a real pain.

Am I the only one with this issue?

Thanks!

P.S.
Despite the many threads about this machine, non solved so far and that is
why I'm still looking for a solution.
