linux, windows, bloat

I used to think Thinkpads had crappy batteries compared to Macs. That was when running Windows 10, where I was lucky get an hour before a battery warning. Now I'm trying Kubuntu on a T450 I got off eBay for around £30. With maximal power saving mode (i.e. run the CPU at 800Mhz), it is perfectly usable for coding and web browsing, and the battery lasts hours. It's shocking how bloated Windows has become with extraneous processes. #linux #windows #bloat
