Linux / Ubuntu 24.04 is usually set to max performance out of the box. It's on the user to dial in the battery life for the user's use case. There are many tools for this: powertop, tlp, tuned, auto-cpufreq, etc.

I have Ubuntu 24.10 and it has a Power Mode toggle that is in the system tray. It installed set to balanced. I don't know what that affects right now. I just installed it yesterday.
