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.

I see the same pattern on my AMD with Linux outside of flatpaks (battery usage for text editing is good, but for videos it's not great), so flatpaks are probably not the problem. I guess the GPU uses too much energy when decoding video - hopefully this is a driver problem and not how the hardware is inherently.
