Phoronix has some power consumption information in their review: https://www.phoronix.com/review/framework-laptop-16/8

For Framework Laptop 13 12th Gen, we have an article on optimizing power consumption (this one is written for Ubuntu, but should largely apply to Debian): https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/optimizing-ubuntu-bat...

Haha and they say Linux is hard to use! What could be simpler?
You are not kidding haha, I saw the article and immediately thought the same. I use a Dell Latitude as my work computer and run it with Linux (Mint). It is a constant struggle between battery life, sleep states (lack of), camera not working, bluetooth not working and whatnot. I still prefer working on Linux than suffering the UX trash that is Windows, but god if there was some paid Linux version that prevented all the necessary tinkering :(
Not needed by most people even on bleeding edge hardware. One can take Windows into the weeds as well.
Or just get the Framework Chromebook which works great out of the box.
