What's hard is not using an external display but responding to events such as closing lid or plugging in a external monitor.
I find the lack of advertising and nagging more than compensates for manually entering an xrandr command or setting a sleep mode.
- shadowgovt 5y agoIt does, until you cook a laptop beyond its operational thermal tolerances because you shut the lid, threw it in a bag, and it never suspended. If that's a problem you don't have though, it's not something you need to worry about.
- fragmede 5y agoWhich is a problem, but my 2015 Macbook did that way more often (which is to say, a handful of times) than my Thinkpad which did that exactly once, while I was setting it up.
- bitwize 5y agosudo pm-suspend Having to type that before I put my laptop in a bag is worth not having to worry that the laptop will spin up in the bag and cook itself trying to update the OS.
- lozf 5y agoaliased to "zzz", and a sudoers entry to not require password - been perfect for years :)
- shadowgovt 5y agoWhy do we need to type anything though? That's terrible UX.
- bitwize 5y agoComing out of suspension with the lid closed is even worse UX.
- shadowgovt 5y agoYes. It's frustrating how far backwards we must bend to make that impossible.
