Hi there!

I need some help with my framework laptop and fedora. I want to switch to linux more permanently, but fedora does not enter hibernation properly when closing the lid. I dont care 10-20sec of wakeup time when opening it again. (even windows is more efficient?!) The relatively bad performance on battery life is OK for me, I already installed TLP instead of the default power management. But when closing the lid, the battery drains about 80% over night (10h?) which seems to be more than what other people reported.

I could not find a guide on this, which i understood (still a massive noob to afraid to mess up my carefully crafted linux partition :D).

If you have any advice I appreciate it! Thanks a lot! :)

      I have read this about the expansion cards and only use 2c and 2A. A bit stupid considering you can hack the hdmi port into suspending on its own… Did not expect this from fw.

      I will check out the link, thanks!

        IIRC framework is working on addressing the expansion card issue via firmware/BIOS but it’s been a while since I’ve seen any updates.

        I generally lose 20-40% battery overnight with USBC and USBA in deep sleep mode. But I have set up hibernate in the past and had it working.

          That is almost equivalent to 1h of browsing in Linux! :D \s Other expension cards are drawing about 1W of power, even without use! That’s crazy much I think…

            Kinda true though. I wish Framework would focus on power usage a bit. As much as I love the concept and laptop the battery life is not one of its strong points. I’ve done a lot of tuning and squeeze about 6-7 hrs out at ~40% screen brightness.
