Elevated Systems did a comprehensive setup guide a couple days ago. There are a some extra steps to go through, but it seems to work well with Ubuntu 21.10.

Thank you for link to the video. I watched the relevant part, where it's suggested to set pcie_aspm_on_bat=powersupersave. According to the Framework forums, this is not helping and people see 7-8W power consumption while in this "powersupersave" mode ([1]).

It sounds like the setting is there, but it does not work. Framework needs to fix that.

If you read the rest of that thread, you'll find the issue was resolved and it was not an issue with the laptop:

> Issue was that I was running linux-zen, strangely. With linux-zen, the CPU wouldn’t get past C3 and idle power usage was 7-13W. With regular linux, the CPU reaches C8 and idle power usage is ~5W. Strange that linux-zen did that, but ok ig

The other main culprit is whether or not you can successfully enable PSR for the display. IIRC, the laptop cannot hit C8 or C10 sleep states without PSR enabled, even if you have the ASPM power saving mode enabled.

Speaking for myself, running Debian unstable, after lowering the display brightness, with the right settings my laptop easily hits 2.5-3W idle.

Nice! Thank you for extracting that. I missed it.
