Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way
Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way
The Modern Standby feature in newer Windows PCs never seems to work right.

Bad behavior in Windows article up on the Fediverse for four hours and no one telling us how their Linux laptop doesn't have this problem?
My Linux laptop doesn't have this problem 😁.
Sounds like it's a combo of bad Windows behavior and buggy implementations, but had to deliver the joke first.
My Linux laptop doesn't have this problem as well except for when I have an external drive plugged via USB which was almost always for backups: then it makes the screen go black and turns the fans on 100% and stays that way. Forever. If I'm fast enough there's a small window of time where I can mash random buttons to make it wake up again. Luckily this doesn't seem to happen with external SSDs plugged in via USB so it's all good 🤷♀️
My Linux laptop doesn't have this problem, in fact it enters such a deep sleep that it needs to be force shutdown and rebooted if I remove any USB device whilst it's asleep
Haha, we sound like people complainimg about the weather, it's either to hot or too cold! Too much sleeping, not enough sleeping, you can't make these weird humans happy either way! __
No, if your motherboard/BIOS/ACPI/CPU does not support S3, linux will not magically implement it. This has nothing to do with Windows.
My Linux laptop goes to sleep, but not without errors. Every time I close open that lid it's a bunch of terminal errors about devices, notably bluetooth. Cool. Thumbs up
Mine doesn't either 😁😁😁
