Somewhat random question: What kind of run time do you get out of a battery charge with PopOS on the framework laptop? I've seen some comments from people who were unhappy with theirs, but maybe PopOS has some better tuning?
The only factor that I could think of that might make a difference across distros is the availability of hardware video acceleration in browsers. But that gap is likely to close soon, if there are any right now.
I should probably chime in on the forum, but per that thread I tried Wayland but it didn't go so well, particularly with an external monitor plugged in. Too many misbehaving and misscaled apps, I remember having issues with vscode (scaling) and either kitty or alacrity (can't move or adjust window).
Great to hear about the 8 hour duration as well, I’m absolutely loving this new toy!
