I just got issued a System76 at work and I thought I must have configured something wrong.
On one hand, I guess I'm glad it's not me; on the other hand, I wish it was just some dumb config toggle ("terrible_battery_life enable") that I could flip back to get more than a few hours of working time, or ~48 hours in my briefcase with the lid closed (!!!), before it was dead as a brick.
It's like the early 2000s all over again, where the battery just got you from one outlet to the next.
I feel bad even saying anything, because I like the company and Pop_OS and what they're trying to do in general. But damn, that's a big flaw to just ship products with in 2022.
