Got Arch running on a laptop with a modern Intel chip and I think the battery life might be even better than my Macbook, presumably because it’s Linux and the only things running are the things I asked it to run.

More people need to play Anthology Of The Killer. Some of the funniest, most creative writing I've seen in an interactive experience.
