Ahh right, I’m getting about 4ish hours on my quite healthy battery on Mint, which felt short. I just fiddled about with TLP and dropped the discharge rate by half-ish. Otherwise it’s a great little low-cost device!
I have a mid 2014 Macbook Pro still running Catalina, I wanted to change it into arch, but it saw very use and mainly my wife use it to watch movies so it doesn’t really seems worth the effort.
I read this on my 2013 MacBook Air 2013 running EndeavourOS. It runs amazingly well including video meetings.
My mid 2013 MacBook air sees more use than any of my other devices.
I bought it for £100 a few years back and haven’t looked back.
Out of interest, what kind of battery life do you get out of it?
Depends - average would probably be about 2-3 hours? Not great but not awful for my use.
I could replace the battery and improve this - ifixit sell the kits - but currently I have no need.
