From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
A new Linux kernel patch series sent out today seeks to improve system power consumption at S5.
Mario Limonciello of the AMD Linux engineering team explained in that patch series: "OEM systems that ship with Linux preloaded need to go through energy certifications that match regulatory bodies in the regions that they will ship.
If any of those certifications don't pass then OEMs might not be able to ship systems preloaded in applicable regions.
Multiple models of systems are reported to fail in Linux but pass for Windows on the exact same hardware.
With this series power consumption at S5 drops on some affected systems to ranges that should be acceptable to ship preloaded."
Simply put, Linux on some newer laptops are not currently meeting necessary regulatory certifications but behave fine on Windows.
