Typing this on 12th gen running Fedora, and I have none of the issues you describe. I've been daily driving this laptop for 2 years, and my only complaint is the mediocre battery life (I get 5-6 hours with mixed use and around 50% display brightness).

I did switch from the glossy to matte display, which was a massive improvement for use on the go.

If you don't mind sharing, what modules do you have plugged in and how much battery do you lose if you don't touch the laptop for 2-3 days?

I have a similar usage pattern where there might be days at a time where I don't boot up my personal laptop. With an 11th Gen and Fedora I set it up with a swap partition and force it to hibernate after 30 minutes. So far it's worked well.

It can take 10-20 seconds to boot up but battery drain while not is use has dropped to maybe 2% for any extended periods of non-use. As an 11th gen user, it exacerbates the CMOS problem I mentioned earlier but that hopefully shouldn't be an issue with the 12th gen mainboards.

This is a guide I've seen recommended: https://community.frame.work/t/guide-fedora-36-hibernation-w...

Hope that helps.

I have 2x USB-C, 1X USB-A, and HDMI plugged in.

To be perfectly honest, I don't really know how much battery I would lose - the laptop is rarely untouched for more than a day or so and in the rare situations when it has been, it has been either completely powered off or left plugged in. I don't know if it's ever been in a situation where it was left in a sleep-state for multiple days.
