i have tried almost all the distros of arch and debian . i found that ubuntu is the most stable , bug free and has best battery life of all the distros. Ubuntu is a standard operating system. In almost all the arch based distros , the laptop fan get on in 10 minutes while in ubuntu the laptop fan get on after 2 hours of continuous usage.
i think money plays a important role here. As we know ubuntu as company is very profitable in its business while other distro dont make much profit.
Arch isn’t a stable distribution and doesn’t claim to be because it’s continues rolling out new patches and new software. I have read plenty of posts online where people have bugs and issues with Ubuntu. As for battery life it seems to be different between the distributions and the hardware you use from the different experiences I’ve seen online, but in general battery life isn’t very long on Linux when you compared it to battery life on Windows but I haven’t run Windows on a laptop in a long time so I can’t remember how long that actually was.
Which fans, the normal system fans or the gpu fans?
Ubuntu isn’t a company but a distribution, Canonical is a company. Again your conclusions are your experiences, your experience isn’t everyone’s experience. Money can play a role but it doesn’t have to since there are distributions that are successful without an official backing company but live off donations, Arch and Debian examples of those even though I’m sure they get donations from companies every now and then but not as much as Ubuntu will ever have to spend. Also don’t forget if Ubuntu is dependent on Debian, without Debian there would be no Ubuntu.
Dont feed the troll.

As a friendly suggestion, for your test result to have a resemblance to seriousness, you would give a description of the testing conditions.
For example:
The specs of the hardware that was used
The operating systems, the kernel versions etc
Was the testing carried out with the default configurations?
The workload: what was running and was kept constant during the testing which could somewhat level the ground between different distros?
etc.

I am sure this post was well-intentioned. However, the way ot os written is likely to lead to a lot of conflict.
I think it best we close this before it gets out of hand.
If you would like help extending your battery life on EOS, please feel free to make a separate help post on that.
