Is battery calibration necessary on a fresh distro install?
Using a new laptop with a confirmed healthy battery, do you typically need to do battery calibration after a fresh distro install? Or is that only used when replacing a battery on an existing system?
By battery calibration I mean the multiple cycles of letting battery drain to 0% and then recharging back up to 100%.
Thanks in advance!

Afaik in almost all cases the battery monitors work independently of the OS (on the BIOS level I guess) so you should only do the calibration if you notice issues with the monitoring and not more often than like once a year. Also if the battery is very worn out, there's no way to get accurate measures.
Thanks!
Firmware level not BIOS level technically
