99% of your battery life will come down to the following:

- Using the guides for Ubuntu and Fedora. For Framework Laptop 13 DIY Edition (AMD Ryzen 7040 Series), you will stick with PPD. For Ubuntu, use 22.04.3 and follow our guide - OEM C kernel matters).

- Make sure you update your BIOS.

- Fedora, overall, is more current and may present slightly better battery life. That said, following the guides on backlighting, etc, will be the biggest difference. Keeping to PowerSave when not connected to power also helps.
