In case you haven't seen, in April, Framework published an official Optimizing Ubuntu Battery Life guide that is quite useful: https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/optimizing-ubuntu-bat...

If that doesn't help, I'd recommend reviewing some of the resources:

* Framework Forum Linux battery life tuning thread (300+ messages) https://community.frame.work/t/guide-linux-battery-life-tuni...

* anarcat's Framework Battery Life and Power management testing: https://anarc.at/hardware/laptop/framework-12th-gen/#battery...

* I also did a long review covering different ways of optimizing CPU performance, evaluating idle and near idle power consumption, various power-testing (including writing a suspend battery logging tool that people may find useful, etc): https://github.com/lhl/linuxlaptops/wiki/2022-Framework-Lapt...




So I have to read forums threads with 300+ messages in order to maybe improve the battery life. Yeah, thanks, but no thanks. I'll just buy a macbook. 2-3 hours battery lifetime in 2023 is a sad sad joke. I'm sorry, but if this is the best this framework laptop company can come up with...


The 13th-gen Framework gets just under 12h on Windows 11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuw-YpbFkkM - for Linux, battery life will be up to how your distro does power management. The Ubuntu guide I linked has a read time of 7 minutes. If a Macbook suits your needs, you should buy that, but I don't think the bad faith characterizations you've made are very helpful to anyone.


Super helpful, thanks!
