Any DE that looks remotely like Windows. My journey to Linux began with a seething hatred of the way Microsoft does pretty much anything. Including the Win10 UI. So when I jumped ship I wanted something completely different. I tried Gnome on a couple distros but ultimately landed on Pop!_OS and really like it!
I agree with this the most. People obsess over the start menu paradigm simply because they like it in Windows. I desire more open mindedness when it comes to looking into alternative ways to interact with your computer, so I align with GNOME.
Well Li-ion batteries are known in conventional wisdom to degrade to 70% of brand new battery life after being charged 500-1000 times. So if it was supposed to have 8 hours when new then 5-6 makes sense.
When I played around with my laptop’s power settings, the LCD screen and screen-brightness were a big power draw between 3W at dim to like 15W at max. That and all wireless functions off, if you can have an ethernet cord plugged in, no bluetooth or USB devices plugged then you can maximize your battery life. Years ago I got my laptop to host a minecraft server with screen off to like 4-5 W at idle.
E: And don’t forget if you have a backlit keyboard to turn that off.

Other people have mentioned open source products so I’ll just add that Dropbox has a Linux client. I use Nextcloud for my own stuff but I have Dropbox for work stuff and it works basically the same as on Windows/Mac as far as I can tell.
Large parts of the rewrite came from contributors who had never worked on fish before.
That’s pretty useful alone.
And there’s this:
Thread Safety
Allowing background functions and concurrent functions has been a goal for many years. I have been nursing a long-lived branch which allows full threaded execution. But though the changes are small, I have been reluctant to propose them, because they will make reasoning about the shell internals too complex: it is difficult in C++ to check and enforce what crosses thread boundaries.
This is Rust’s bread and butter: we will encode thread requirements into our types, making it explicit and compiler-checked, via Send and Sync. Rust will allow turning on concurrent mode in a safe way, with a manageable increase in complexity, finally enabling this feature.
Vibes are just as important to free/open source software as proprietary software and although there were solid technical reasons for the port, the PR outcomes are added benefits.
Are you on the open source drivers or in the official ones? You should be using the open source as they are better in this case.
I have the impression it has to do with your monitor as well, could it be some HDR functionality? Try opening the OSD of your monitor and check if something changes when on the application
