uncivilly servile
Hiya,
I have what i consider to be an expensive Thinkpad which I bought last year for a course/training/exams and possible work in cybersecurity. Win 11 Pro, lots of RAM etc. Piss poor battery life as detailed in these two threads one and two
I am mainly using my Macbook for most computer tasks that are not cybersec related and when I am doing cybery things I am usually sat at a desk so can plug in (because of the poor battery life).
However...
I want to test the battery life with another OS and have questions about that.
i can do most cybersec stuff in Linux too, so was thinking of using a distro to test the performance, but:

i can do most cybersec stuff in Linux too, so was thinking of using a distro to test the performance, but:
- Don't want to install over Windows 11
- Don't want to dual boot
- Don't know if running a distro from a USB stick or from RAM will give me a reliable test of the battery life in the same way
- Don't know which distro to choose really (I was thinking of using Ubuntu and Kali together)
