Whenever I try Linux on my laptops, I always seem to have issues with sleep/resume from closing the lid.
While my wife's Macbooks battery lasts for like 18 hours.
Maybe the brand? I generally use HP and Dell (and Debian/Ubuntu) and, while always bracing for something not to work, have generally not run into any issues.
I'm using an old Dell XPS 13. It's 10ish years old. That could be part of the problem. I'm currently using chromeOS flex on it. It's fairly usable, but I don't have audio. I really only use it rarely and for things like d&d.
I know the Macbook battery life is because it's brand new, but it's still impressive to me that she rarely has to charge it.
Mmm; that's fair. The husband had an XPS 13 (not sure if that old, though; it was the one where you could get the cover in Rose Gold) but they only use Windows so I can't say. I've mostly installed Linux (for myself) on Latitudes.
Oh, for sure; it is definitely impressive. I dunno if you already know (so, basically, I apologize if so!) but part of how Apple's able to pull that off is they manufacturer their own hardware and only install to it; so OS X's optimized to the hardware in a way Windows and Linux can't be (since they're designed to run on any hardware). I'm sure that's not all of it but it's part of it.
