      Typo

      1.6^ instead of 1.6%

      Also, what's up with the graphs? Only odd lines are labeled...

      And what's up with the multiple Intel + NVIDIA options in the GPU question?

        Thanks, fixed ^/% typo.

        That for some reason is how Google Forms' graphs show the data... These are all graphs straight from Google Forms and not from Phoronix/PTS. When mousing over though on the graphs it tells the identifier, but unfortunately not aware of any way to natively embed Google Forms graphs into e.g. this article.

            In the "What brand laptop do you currently own?" chart, Dell isn't appearing anywhere, instead, all the other brand labels are shifted up (tough the percentages match with your description).
            In the beginning you mentioned Dell selling various Linux laptops, and when I saw that Dell wasn't listed in the chart I was wondering…

            Cheers

              As I replaced Windows for my distro of choice as soon as get my laptop, I can't assess the shorter battery life as I don't have a number to compare with.

              As laptops are expensive where I live, most of people use some cheaper laptop, with intel parts from 2013~2014, which probably would cost US$300 in USA, but here with taxes and everything they cost at least US$ 500.

              So the 4 hours of battery life usually is the expected time for such laptop model.

                I can't believe nobody uses Dells or Arch Linux.

                  Read the article, Google Forms charts just don't show some identifiers but I mention all of the details in the text.
