I assume he meant Linux on x86 laptops, where I can confirm battery life is atrocious and support for random display things is also pretty bad. My laptop still wont do more than 30 Hz over HDMI (works fine with DisplayPort though).
Non-Apple ARM laptops exist. They in fact predate Apple’s move to ARM. Not only that, desktop Linux was actually the primary target platform for many of them.

The bit you quoted from the post explicitly said “most x86 laptops”, not “all”.
even if he wrote “half”, he would still be wrong, and still suffering from multiple levels of dissonance.
