Battery life optimization on Lenovos often involves installing and activating the correct GPU kernel module. My battery life on my P53 improved measurably after doing this, though installing new kernels involved a small build step. Are you just running with all the defaults?

Interesting. Why do you call out KDE? Does it add to the experience specifically for you?

I usually use XMonad, but then I nearly do everything in the command line, and I don't like to move my windows around via mouse. (Though XMonad supports that, too.)

XMonad works for me, but I wouldn't call it out specifically as contributing to the experience.

What program are you talking about? You can customise eg Firefox on Mac, just like anywhere else, with extensions to look however you want.
