Hello people, Can you please provide the average battery life you’re getting on linux alongside your framework model, your distro and usage? I’m 100% sure the fw 13 will be my next compute but I’ve seen a lot of difference between the battery life people are getting, so I want to see if there’s a pattern.

    Somewhere around 7-8 hours.

    My use case is probably closest to a software engineer who doesn’t compile crazy stuff. A bunch of browser tabs, discord, zulip, and other chat services open, a terminal and VSC always open, with some quick compiling here and there.

    I’m on OpenSUSE with GNOME and use TLP.

    edit: I have the i5 1240p model

      Thanks for the edit, that’s part of why I decided to get one finally is the AMD is supposed to get like 12hrs from what I’ve read.
