How well does Linux work on MacBook Air?

I read a thread called "Advice on Linux that suits my needs for Macbook Pro". I had a similar situation but I couldn't find a solution to my situation from the thread. I am a student and I took my laptop to school everyday but the battery can only survive until the end of my lectures and then I have to go home for recharging my laptop. This is very annoying. I can't stay at school and do some self studies.
I am going to buy a new laptop. I wanted to buy a MacBook Air because I don't need the Retina display(I think the Retina Display is needed only if I were a designer). MacBook air is fancy but there are too many unwanted stuffs running at the background. I am wondering that whether there are anyone installed linux on their MacBook Air? Does the performance(speed,battery life ) really improved?

I use my laptop for :
  • reading
  • doing my programming homework (C++,Java,Python)
  • draw something with Blender (3D modelling)
  • as a Web sever (for testing my programs)
  • Minecraft
** I have only used Fedora 21 before.
