After a fresh install of the system, I noticed it consumes so much battery compared to windows 11 which i was using prior to this system. I was using the machine mainly for basic tasks like web browsing and noticed that the drain is so high and the battery barely lasts 2 hours of usage while in windows this usage scenario will take over 4 hours for the battery to run out. I tried to put the performance profile on battery saver but this did not help out a lot. here is the output of garuda-inxi:
