ACPI has been the bane of Linux on laptops for two decades.
If I can't trust that my laptop will go to sleep when I shut the lid and put it in my bag, it's not useful as a portable device.
- andrewshadura 8y agoI haven’t had issues with suspend since 2009.
- penagwin 8y agoAs a counter point, I've had repeated issues with my several different laptops in the last few years with them not going to sleep (2015~2018?). I have a new laptop now that I primarily run windows on now...
- war1025 8y agoThere was an issue with hibernate memory mapping that broke hibernate on my work Thinkpad for the first year or two that I had it. Then at some point they fixed the issue, which if I remember correctly came down to "stop trying to be fancy and just do the straight-forward thing, which is correct". And since then I've had no issues. I'm unclear why I had an issue with the Thinkpad but never had issues with any of the 5 or so Dell Inspirons I've had over the years.
- int_19h 8y agoAs usual, it all depends on how lucky you get with your hardware, unless you specifically buy a Linux laptop.
- noelsusman 8y agoFWIW my Dell Windows laptop at work can't accomplish this correctly either.
