> I think installing 3 Linux distros might be overkill for my single 2 TB 2280 drive, and I’m leaning toward Ubuntu because some reviews so far have quoted that under Ubuntu there is better battery life.

I assume that the review of the “some reviews” is Elevated System’s review. I am not sure if the person followed the instructions to optimize the battery life in Fedora for the review, especially the part about using the power-profiles-daemon in the Copr repository.

You can check the following pages if you install Fedora on Framework Laptop AMD.
