That’s not ture atleast on my system, I played modded Minecraft for 4 hours on performance mode and I still have 15% to spare, I also watch BCS for an season and it’s only drain 60% on power saving mode
I used win10 1 years and I don’t remember exactly what the power consumption is like but I think it probably worse because of win10 use more on CPU and RAM for anti-malware and telemetry
Extremely dependent on a number of factors, mostly hardware and configuration. I had a Thinkpad T480 and on a stock fedora install it definitely died faster than W10, but after setting up TLP and Powertop I squeezed ~2 more hours of use out of it than Windows could manage. Ditto for my framework 13, I get all day battery life on NixOS but when I’ve tested windows on it I lose a few hours immediately
Linux is pretty green at least

Is this true?

I imagine it varies wildly by distro, hardware, use-case, etc.

Surely use-case is important? Someone running a server that’s on 24/7 vs. someone running it on a laptop or desktop that they shut down every day.
