Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is not "bad faith" to assert experiences that differ from yours. "Bad faith" is (per Wikipedia) > a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to entertain one set of feelings while acting as if influenced by another.
That didn't answer my original question: which modern batteries-included linux distro competing with macos or windows 11 idles at 150mb? Hence why it's a bad faith comment. It moves the goalposts to throws bs accusations without facts to back it up as a valid argument.
Nobody that you're arguing with ever suggested that "Modern Gnome and KDE distros with batteries included" would give you that experience. They only told you that it's available on Linux. That said, as I told you, Mint/Cinnamon uses considerably less than what you report (which surprised me), and you can do much better than that out of box (like, say, Mint/Xfce).
Nobody "threw bs accusations without facts" at you. You are the one accusing others of "bad faith" argumentation (despite the fact that even if others were doing what you claim, it wouldn't meet the definition I already gave you).
Please stop.
