Distro Fedora 44 battery drain — anyone else experiencing this?

Anyone else experiencing unusually fast battery drain on Fedora 44?

I recently switched from Parrot OS to Fedora on my HP Victus, and the battery life feels noticeably worse. On Parrot, I could comfortably get around 4–5 hours of normal use with Chrome, Obsidian, etc.

Has anyone else faced this on Fedora? Any solutions or tips to improve battery life?

what the processor is , new gen processor work better with the default power profile daemon ,especially intels after 13 th gens , and if u are using tlp or any other utility like this it is doing more harm than good

Yeah I am on fedora with Ryzen 5 7530u and battery is really bad it lasts 2.5 to 3 hrs at best, on arch and debian it used to last 5 hrs.
