If I boot Solus from a live USB, will I get an accurate picture of the battery performance compared to a real disk install?

This may be a silly question, but I'm more of a desktop/server Linux user and this is a laptop question.

Hypothetically if I got a laptop with Windows pre-installed, and I got some idea of the battery performance with the default settings and OS, I would then want to tune and test battery performance on Solus booting live in comparison, and get that to a reasonable performance before committing to disk.

    tomocafe Not likely. Battery use for USB versus internal drive will be different.
