Linux Mint battery tuning for Framework 16

Anyone have a list of changes that they've made to increase battery life? I've got about three hours (with 80% limit in BIOS, which I might get rid of), so I'm sure there's a lot that can be changed.

This might be a stupid question but does anyone know:...

Framework 13 AMD 3.05 BIOS Update ( community.frame.work )

After the 3.03b Beta it looks like the release version is out. Good news for people with USB-PD charging issues. My own anecdotal experience: I have a few USB-PD chargers that refused to handshake with with my FW13s including one big Satechi unit. Since the update all are working happily.

Put it off too long. Here's to my final laptop purchase 🍻 ( lemmy.ml )

How would you go about getting blobless WiFi on a Framework laptop?

My goal is a blobless Linux Framework laptop, but AFAIK there are no open source drivers for the included AMD RZ616 WiFi card. What would you do, replace that it a different M.2 card? Do any blobless ones exist? Any recommendations?

My experience with the FW 13 AMD

Last Wednesday, the parcel arrived, one day prior to the expected delivery date. I wanted to show my girlfriend how to expand memory and storage on a computer, so we did the whole process together. Despite being one of the less tech-savvy people I know, she assembled it with minor assistance from me in about 10 minutes. And it...
