From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It would more likely be that the battery lasts 10-20% longer than ARM. You won't triple or quadruple efficiency with just an architecture change unless it is world-changing new tech
The problem is ARM laptop isn't even available in 3rd world country like mine. I still waiting tho, even if it's exists, it's expensive as expensive buying a high end motorcycle... worth of 3x yearly salary
