Yeah, shit like this (but by no means limited to this) is why I use Linux exclusively for my personal computers. It used to be that putting a Linux laptop to sleep was a hit-or-miss affair that took a lot of configuration. Now it just works, no muss no fuss.
This has literally been a problem since Windows ever came into being. I remember long nights of wrestling with this garbage on Jurassic versions of Windows.
I've just started turning off my PC when I'm done with it because a mouse farting on the mouse will wake it up. Also if I do manage to get it to sleep it wakes itself up every few hours to check for updates.
They can if they don't use "Modern Standby" or whatever. My Zen 4 PC sleeps just fine, fans stopping and all. Just had to disable allowing network adapters to wake the device from sleep in device manager, else random broadcast messages could cause the standby to end.
I actually like suspend to RAM. Makes my laptop usable after sleep a bit faster. But absolutely not on Windows because then my fans are still spinning after minutes like many have reported. But I was simply able to disable that with a registry tweak and it's now going to regular ACPI S3 when I close the lid. Is my Framework Laptop 13 (i5-1240P) an uncommon exception?
Is my Framework Laptop 13 (i5-1240P) an uncommon exception?
Yes. Laptop manufacturers are disable s3 sleep in firmware. Framework explicitly gives that freedom because they don't suck
Does suspend to ram drain battery?
Yes depending on the sleep state. Also some power is going to ram to keep it alive. I think for framework it's in the realm of 5% an hour or something like that.
I usually go the hibernation route.
Desktops I sleep to ram, laptops I hibernate to the SSD.
Didn’t some tech youtubers talk about this a few months ago? I swear I remember seeing a video on this…
LTT did a big video with all the details.
“The always-on nature of phones and tablets is incredibly convenient. Wouldn’t it be great if your (non-ARM) laptop or desktop could do this too?”
Easy, get an M series Mac :P
I have one laptop running Windows and I just changed the BIOS/UEFI setting so that closing the display turns off the computer.
Also handy for Linux distros with poor standby/sleep support.
There was a work around to prevent laptops to drain trough the night whilst in sleep. Removing the power cable before closing the lid activates a different sleep mode, than closing the lid with the power cable still connected.
Linus tech tips dit a video on this a while ago. If I recall correctly.
My ARM laptop is great. Was dirt cheap and it's pretty damn good for what it is
Btw, if my pc wakes up seconds after if try to manually via XfCE power menu, but sleeps fine by itself (20 minutes inactivity), what could that be?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
