High battery drain during standby on Linux can be due to the system not entering the proper sleep state. I had this happen to me on an AMD machine lately, in that case disabling secure boot solved the issue.

Here is a pretty detailed blog post in checking if that is the problem and how to deal with it on intel systems

Isn't secure boot just a Microsoft thing to try to stymie competition by preventing booting OSes other than Windows?
Debian seems to indicate otherwise: https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot
