Author here. I'm posting this before bed. If there are any suggestions or questions I will answer in the morning.

FWIW, I use Arch Linux with XFCE on my Intel Framework 13 and I only lose a few percent battery per day in sleep mode. I suspect you could find some software settings to make this better, maybe worth digging a bit further.

What sleep modes does that support? The 7840HS only supported the "modern standby" mentioned in another comment.

Sorry, I have no idea, it just worked this way out of the box so I never had to do any digging into it.

I've wanted to buy a Framework to have a linux laptop for so long, but exactly this issue of battery life is what's holding me back.

As soon as Asahi supports TouchID, I think my M1 will become a linux laptop...

It seems to be also (still) missing support for external displays and USB-4 in general?

And according to use reports battery life seems quite awful compared to macOS?
