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.

Your not gonna get much from that. Your much better off looking for more efficient processors. If your looking at a brand new tuxedo you have a pretty high budget already so id suggest waiting a bit and looking at the new mobile CPUs from intel and amd coming out which seem to have really good efficiency. Linux support for them should roll out pretty quick since its not like they have the same challenges as ARM chips being x86.
Good to hear that they're better at power efficiency. What's potentially concerning however, is whether that would lead to manufacturers just using smaller batteries. I want my 80 or 99 Wh battery for the longest battery life! I'll heed your advice and wait to see where things go.
