Yup. You're right. When putting GNURoot Debian in background it uses about the same (if not slightly more) battery as Google Play Services. I tried the same with Linux on Android and it didn't use enough battery to appear in the list depicting battery usage. So it may be better with regards to battery usage.

the VMware launches Ubuntu at 00:35
for those of you who peg on nitty-gritty details.

Almost 3/4 of 2016 has gone...
I have a strong feeling that the ultimate answer to this thread's question is..... N900! (again)

Hello all, I just wanted to let you know that I have preordered the GPD WIN from the Dragonbox Shop.
I plan on posting a review here.
What would you like me to test when I receive it?

EvilDragon BOOTS Ubuntu on the GPD WIN
Working:
-Install
-Touchscreen
-General Usage
Broken:
-WiFi
-Battery detection
-Brightness control
-Crashes on rotation
Here is the link to his boot log
A user called "Sigb" posts a bulleted list, detailing how easy it will/should be to fix these problems.
GPD seems on board in releasing the drivers after release to help this.
I will still test out the installation as the fixes are made.
Along with Ubuntu, I am going to try to put Remix OS on there.

EvilDragon didn't install Linux on the GPD Win. He installed Arch/Ubuntu on a USB stick attached to the GPD.
There is no Linux installation on his GPD's internal flash.
Afair he did it this way because he didn't want to risk bricking his prototype.

EvilDragon of OpenPandora just said this about his Linux experience on the GPD Win:
source:
https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/thr...4#post-1394634
I have no idea how much time (if any at all) he invested in solving these issues, but it shows that curretly the GPD Win is far from working ootb with Linux.
I didn't have any issues with UEFI on the GPD Win prototype, but it even crashed when I just tried to use xrandr to rotate the display.
And no battery or charging information either, no way to change the brightness of the screen.
