CoreBook X-i5 12450H - Experience with Arch linux + longer battery life

Hello!
Since I didn’t see any posts on whether Corebookx can run Arch Linux or not, I have installed and dual-booted myself, and it’s pretty good.

Good side:
Hardware is compatible and recognized, no problem (I have seen some say that for them Linux couldn’t recognize the touchpad, screen flicker, wireless…)

6 h+ battery life (I’m a backend programmer, and when it’s fully charged with some optimizations, it stays up the whole time, Chrome and Spotify in the background, YouTube and other stuff)

Downside:
There were some problems, but nothing that couldn’t be fixed with some coding and the help of AI
I mean it’s Arch, and if something doesn’t work, it’s ur problem, maybe a bad installation

And on Windows 11 battery is just bad, maybe 3h upkeep

Recommendation:
Before you install, just create a restore point and backup, and go for the dual-boot for sure, just to be safe
There is a video on YouTube on how to dual-boot Arch Linux by KSK Royal, and it’s pretty good. Just follow his steps, and you’ll be good to go

Io proverò con Winux che ho già provato su un vecchio Asus e devo dire che l’esperienza d’uso non era così male… Anzi!
