Hello looking for some community help. I was seeing a lot of videos about battery life issues with mint Linux distro anybody have any opinions or suggestions?

I’d definitely suggest going for a distro running a more recent kernel. I got Arch up and running easily enough with the archinstall script.
Fedora worked like “a charm” too. Probably the best Linux experience ‘out-of-the-box’ for sure.
Hate to say it, but the actual best distro to run on your AMD FW13 might be WSL though LOL. At least for right now, depending on your moral compass and your tolerance for wonkiness.
AMD driver support on Linux seemed a bit lackluster. I also think even Richard Stallman would have a tough time getting similar battery life right now.
I ended up ditching my principals and slapping Win 11 on it for more confidence-inducing GPU drivers and to cure its insomnia. Licensed through a legitimate source, of course.
Okay, I’m ready for my downvotes lol.
Just took the penguin off my flair 😭
The one that you need. Arch for my side
Fedora with GNOME runs very well, no issues at all, been daily driving for over 2 weeks, tested both kde and gnome with not really any issues
did end up booting to windows to do a bios update to enable things like the fingerprint reader etc cuz was so much quicker than fiddling on linux
Fedora 39 or PopOS! in my experience
NixOS
