Advice for Linux on the Thinkpad E14 Gen 7 AMD

So I got this monster, Thinkpad E14 Gen 7, and I tried to install Fedora on it for a little bit but the battery consumption was too high, so I had to go back to Windows. I need some advice on people that have this laptop and that use Linux on it, how do you manage battery efficiently? how did you adjust it so that the consumption was low?

Specs:

Ryzen 7 250

16GB RAM

512 SSD

100%sRGB

64Wh battery, because that extra power realy suits me for when I need to college

Hello everyone. I recently did a dual boot with Windows and Linux Fedora up to the latest version

On Monday, I rushed into a class that I give through Zoom and opened Windows for the first time after the dual boot was finished. I open Zoom, it froze and, suddenly, many things crashed on Windows. The camera stopped working, my screen was flickering, Zoom crashed each time I tried to start a call... basically, I lost that class and the money I could have made there

Now, I can't open Zoom on Windows without the same shit happening, but on Linux, everything works super well

I can't completely switch to Linux because I have to use Teams and Zoom and using Teams on the web is not something I prefer

I assume some driver got corrupted severely or something, so I gotta reinstall Windows on that partition

How can I do that without losing the Dual Boot? What things should I consider before doing it?
