I am considering a purchase as a student although it is really expensive.

What are your major criticisms of the framework laptop?

E.g.

- I have heard that it discharges battery even while powered off (a very serious issue IMO).

Also, I will be using win10/11 and fedora most likely. So any Linux-related issues (e.g. hardware support) I would really like to know.

Thanks for any ideas.

Assuming you are talking about the new AMD 13 I would avoid windows 10. My biggest downfall was drivers install and weak wifi 6e reception. I am running windows 11 but now that everything is installed right it has been great and the wifi 6e picks up most of of the time over the 5ghz band.
