Linux systems usually consume more energy than identical systems with other operating systems

Is this true?

Yes, at least on battery powered PCs. Other kinds of machines may be more efficient on Linux but I guess these are mostly cases when there are no big and well developed proprietary solutions for them.

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

I don’t have any information that proves it. I think in this list only hardware matters.
