Battery life on linux (alien.top)

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.

2-4 hours for me on Fedora (AMD). This is with media consumption (video mainly) and I haven't tested it for productivity yet cause uni is on break. I've been trouble shooting this to try and get better performance because I have a feeling Flatpaks may not be as optimised for hardware acceleration. For the most part though, general web browsing and whatnot does not seem to hit the battery at at all really.

Nah that's normal, watching video just consumes a lot of battery
