Curious if the suspend / hibernate "just works" when you close the lid?

I feel like I've tried several times to get this working in both Linux and Windows on various laptops and have never actually found a reliable solution (often resulting in having a hot and dead laptop in my backpack).


I have an intel framework running fedora. I have found that intels s0 sleep just uses way too much battery. I’d expect that in sleep mode, it should last a week and still be above 50% power but that is definitely not the case.

I ended up moving to hybrid, where it suspends for an hour allowing immediate wake up then hibernates completely. It’s a decent compromise and I’ve never once had an issue with resume from suspend or hibernate, nor have I ever had an issue with it randomly waking up and frying itself in a backpack or unexpectedly having a dead battery.

My work M1 is still superior in this regard but it is an acceptable compromise.

I learned that even tho I run Ubuntu, arch wiki has good info on proper commands to run to configure this behavior on my machine.

It does! The only thing wasn't working out of the box, so to speak, was the fingerprint reader, I had to do a little config to get it going.

If it makes you feel better, my work provided MBP has picked up this habit and is dead take the time i go to wake it up

Windows laptops are still worse, but i appreciate Apple continuing to give me reasons to hate them
