I have to disagree on the build quality, I found it really only second to MacBooks and Dell XPS. Ultimately I returned it for an M1 MacBook because of the battery. With an M1 I charge it once a week and it sips power on standby. The Framework was dropping 30-40% battery overnight on sleep.

That is most likey a Linux problem in general. Linux is known to have worse energy management. TFA explains the owner had to enable deep sleep and hibernation:

> One of the initial caveats with installing Ubuntu is that deep sleep and hibernate are not enabled by default. Deep sleep is easy to enable. Hibernate takes a bit more effort, but it’s straightforward. Once configured it works like a charm. I noticed about a 2% drain in 3 days of hibernation. If this power loss is linear, it can go for weeks in hibernation.

My battery results were with deep sleep. I was unable to get hibernation working although I didn’t put a lot of time into trying it.
