>> lid-close go to sleep functionality
I've read hundreds of post surrounding this issue. I've used laptops for decades but I don't think I have ever used this feature. It doesn't take even a second to hit a couple keys and sleep a laptop. The only feature lower on my priority list would be syncing the RGB keyboard to soundcloud. But that's just me. Evidently the lid-close-sleep thing is of vital import to millions of laptop users. It's one of those things where I just shake my head in bewilderment.
- trasz 5y agoI use it all the time; it boils down to a single line in sysctl.conf: hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=“S3”
- Melatonic 5y agoOne of the features I always actually make sure to turn off - I am in the same boat and there are many times when I want to close the lid of my laptop but still have some stuff chugging along. Saves a lot of battery that way!
- tombert 5y agoI mean, sure, I'm an engineer, I'm sure I can figure out a workaround, but I like the feature of going to sleep on lid close. It's a feature I use, and I couldn't get it working in FreeBSD.
- brimble 5y agoHaving computers do things automatically is kinda the whole point of what we do. > Evidently the lid-close-sleep thing is of vital import to millions of laptop users. It's one of many little things that takes a laptop from feeling like some weird barely-functioning misfit of a toy to an actual portable tool that you don't have to worry about or baby.
- jodrellblank 5y agoMaybe get out of your rut and try it before mocking everyone who uses it and posting long rambling comments about how you “don’t understand” but still think you have enough understanding to judge “millions” of people as beneath you?
