And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

I am running mint on my dell and the only thing i am surprised is the bad battery life on Linux. I'm getting 1 hour backup while on windows i was getting close to 3 hours. Can someone help me out here?

Try a few of the options here. I personally have used powertop and tlp and they help, but the best mix for your hardware might be different.

I can second TLP, it's wonderful.

There is a GUI for it as well that works well.

Also do you really need a full DE when just using a browser on the go? I use i3wm without a compositor on battery and my wifi+firefox battery life went from 5h to about 7-8h.
