>>58624781
OS X throttles on actual apple hardware so you get higher battery life than you would have otherwise

>>58624816
moot point since macbooks usually don't get more than 9hours.

>>58624858
The point is still perfectly valid. Compare FreeBSD's battery life to OS X's on a MacBook and get back to me.

>>58624878
>MacBook
>Standard computer to make comparisons
Mactoddler.

>>58624953
>he disagrees with me, better spout shitty memes at him
Ebin. Bottom line is you don't have a valid comparison until you test the OS on supported hardware.

>>58624979
>implying aplel uses some sort of special non-standard hardware.
You will get the same result.

>>58624979
>supported hardware
>custom made hardware from the same people that created HFS+.

>>58625020
>>58625023
>implying that matters
I don't care how stock you think the hardware in a Mac is. It's not a valid comparison if you're comparing two operating systems when only one supports the target hardware.

>>58625095
You logic is fucked. The only thing macbooks support is OSX so how is your test anymore relevant then the one in the OP?

>>58625124
My logic's not fucked, you're just a dumbass. You're free to install whatever the fuck you want, it just comes with OS X preinstalled.

>>58625154
The point of the thread was that OSX doesn't magically give you better battery life.
Its irrelevant if you are running it on your standard macbook or just another toaster.

I guess the only thing useful to know is this >>58624826

>>58625286
Of course it doesn't, it's not going to magically run better on unsupported hardware than software that actually supports it.

>>58624781
The question is whether or not you installed it correctly.

Did you create your SSDT? Did you patch your DSDT? It has gigantic implications on battery since the SSDT for example decides how your CPU steps, and if speedstep decides to go 10% of the frequency to max and no other steps in between, you're bound to either do nothing or have the CPU run constantly at max frequency.

Why're you laughing at facts?

>>58625344
Creating a usb stick bootable by EFI will allow to boot on a macbook.

Boot holding the option key and select the flash drive.

Proceed installation as you normally would and it's installed.

>>58625365
Because it's not a fact. There's 0 support for anything other than OSX from the supplier, it's not "allowed" under their warranty or support.

>>58625392
isn't that true for any computer ever?

>>58625384
You can even use rEFInd for shit that doesn't support EFI

>>58625392
>There's 0 support for anything other than OSX from the supplier
That couldn't possibly be less relevant. Apple doesn't need to support other operating systems, other operating systems need to support Apple's hardware, amd they do. What to install Windows? Go ahead. Linux? Be my guest. FreeBSD? More power to you.

>>58625416
Yep, I was specifically talking about unmodified macbooks but yes.
I used to use refind on mine.

>>58624781
OSX has always been utter fucking shit at battery management, hence why applel crammed 95wh batteries into the throttlebooks. Now that they fell for their own thin meme, throttlebook battery life fell off a cliff.

>>58624781
People think if it slow it should be energy effective.

This.

>>58624781
You're an idiot. The x220 is a windows pc, not a mac.

>>58627470
>windows
worse battery life then both of what was listed.

>>58628588
At least the battery life's better than your spelling.

>>58628627
I think you mean grammar. But OK.

>>58628638
You spelled "than" with an e

>>58628666
Yes, which is a grammatical error.

>>58628683
Spelling words wrong is a spelling error.

>>58624781
>FreeBSD

Uninstall this shit!

What was that?

>ASLR is enabled by default for all architectures and controlled by the PAX_ASLR kernel option.

You forgot to generate the proper CPU C-states and P-states. This is a big thing that people forget with hackintoshes, sometimes they will jump from 8 clock multiplier right to 26 with nothing in between. That shit will fuck your power consumption.

Fixed.
But using the wrong word isn't a spelling error.

>>58627470

It's called WC idiot

>>58628867
Everything just worked on x220 as well but
>still get photoshop and ms office
these are the only things OSX is good for.
>doesn't break by itself like linux
Which is why I'm not using linux.
