Yep, I'm running Arch. Battery is great. On my work laptop (the 6th gen) I easily get >7 hours if I'm not doing things in the browser too much. Yes I know there are a million factors, and my general use case isn't the same as everyone elses. Let's put it this way, the way I use my previous mac and my new thinkpad, the thinkpad lasts around 1.5x as long (sometimes more).
In terms of WiFi. I haven't noticed it being worse than my mac, but I also don't think I've ever dug deep enough into this kind of thing on either platform to really say. Every time I've spent any energy looking into WiFi it's been on Linux.
