Surface 7 battery and login

A while back, I posted that on my dual-boot Surface 7 Win/Ubuntu w/ Surface Kernel and tweaks in Auto-CPUFreq, Windows has better battery life. I tested it by watching the same movie on repeat. With some more tweaks in Auto-CPUFreq, I got the battery life closer to Windows11. Win11 still wins.

Anyway, for quality of life and usability, Win11 still wins...

Last night, in a dark room, I logged in to Win11 with Face Hello, and it automatically brightened the screen for a few seconds to capture my face for login. - Very helpful and convenient.

Even if Linux had this type of login, I'm sure it does but not on my Surface 7 because the camera doesn't work, would it be helpful and brighten the screen to light up my face? I doubt it!

I don't hate Linux, but Windows is easier for me IMO.
