Whenever I try Linux on my laptops, I always seem to have issues with sleep/resume from closing the lid.

While my wife's Macbooks battery lasts for like 18 hours.

Maybe the brand? I generally use HP and Dell (and Debian/Ubuntu) and, while always bracing for something not to work, have generally not run into any issues.

I can get ~20hrs of battery life thanks to the fact that I can carry 4 expernal batteries for my laptop, I am using Debian w. Xfce. I also had the issue of it not properly suspending on closing the lid, this solved the issue for me.

Much appreciated. I'll give it another shot maybe tonight and throw some XFCE on here.

Man I have old laptop I love to install Linux on, but don't have jump drive that transfer the software on. How else can install it on my old HP laptop?
