Huh? You know you can tweak the energy-performance bias for Intel CPUs and all that on Linux right?

And it works like garbage. Linux has famously bad power management in mobile. If you’re actually comparing the two genuinely, I encourage you to read more on the topic.

  Your comment is both condescending and wrong. Linux power management on mobile used to be garbage, but now you can get excellent battery life on Linux-friendly laptops, if you willing to invest time into tuning it. I'm typing this message from one such laptop (Lenovo X1C).

    Glad you’re having a good experience. But compared to MacOS, and to a lesser extent, windows, power management in mobile is still garbage for OEM laptops. Not that my opinion of what is garbage may differ than yours. The M1 has spoiled me perhaps.

On my Linux 10980xe server, I have only been able to do this via obscure command line tools or the BIOS. It's definitely not as seamless or effortless as what you get on a Mac.

  I think what you're describing may be a distro issue, or an issue with your specific processor. I have had a great experience on Arch Linux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management#Userspace_tools https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management#Userspace_...

    I’m glad you’re having a fantastic time, but the depth and quality of power management in MacOS far surpasses anything currently in Linux. See seamless instant wake from sleep.

      Linux has instant wake from hibernation as well, not sure why you'd think that is unique to Mac.

        The two are not comparable in form, nor function. There is nothing instant about the Linux variant.

        It saves your state to a hibernation file and is insant. Maybe you just misconfigured?

        No. It is not instant. Instant means “with no perceivable delay” There is no Linux distro that does this.
