Hey all.
I've heard many and plenty about the power regression in Linux, and also heard that it is back to a good power consumption with 12.04.
According to PowerTop and after a few tweaks, removing Gwibber and UbuntuOne, installing Jupiter, and more - my lappy takes about somewhere between 750 mW to 1.70 W, depending on use. Is it something would you'd consider a good power consumption or bad?
Also, another question: I heard that Linux doesn't treat batteries well and shortens their life span. True? False? fixed?
Thanks.
