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.

11th gen i7 for software development and I get at least 6-8 hours with battery set to charge to 80%. Using Pop!_OS. I keep my brightness down, but it's more than bright enough even with sun streaming in the house. I'm definitely considering an upgrade to AMD.

Excessive video calls make it closer to 6 hours, and closer to 8 with software dev.

Do you tune anything to reach that longevity? That's impressive
