S0ix is the replacement, which allows for connected standby.

Connected standby has been the norm on mobile since ages, quite popular in laptops now and is making its way to desktops.
The OEM cannot both provide S0ix and S3 suspend at the same time though. (togglable through UEFI firmware options on some systems, but that's getting rare)
- zozbot234 5y agoS0ix is a pretty clear regression compared to plain S3 suspend, it drains more power in pretty much any OS. People can try to make it work a bit better at the OS/kernel level, but it will never be as good.
- emptysongglass 5y agoIt's really not that bad. Saying this as someone with a ThinkPad Nano running Fedora 34. I really don't notice a difference.
- akvadrako 5y agoWhat makes you say that? My laptop can switch between S3 (for Linux) and S0ix (for Windows). I've measured power usage and it's almost identical.
