>Ranging from randomly wake up from sleep in my backpack // This has come up a few times on HN recently, it appears to be an issue with all brands of OS. There was an explanation for it to do with Windows wanting to keep the network stack live in "sleep" and so proper sleep having little support. Reports suggested it might be a problem with OSX too.

no no, you see, when it happens on linux, well that's linux not being ready for prime time when it happens on windows, well, it's probably $mfg's fault

  Yup, people are way more prompt to shit on something free, than something they've paid for. Seem counterintuitive, but people will always defend something they've spent money on. The more they've spent, the more they do.

I never had this issue on MacBooks (a user since 2007, after using desktop Linux from 1994-2007). I don't know any macOS users that had this issue. I had a Linux certified ThinkPad. I enabled S3 sleep in the firmware to avoid this issue. My battery was always dead after letting the laptop sleep overnight. The fun thing is when this happened Lenovo's USB-C charger would refuse to charge the laptop. At any rate, I really wanted to switch to Linux on laptops, bought a Linux-certified ThinkPad with a Ryzen CPU that everyone recommended. And it was just a miserable experience. Everything from terrible sleep-wake, bad support for 4k screens to half-working Lenovo USB-C Docks. Near the end, I'd just run Windows, since at least the hardware worked properly and the battery didn't drain in 3-4 hours.

  While I appreciate your personal experience, a quick Google search gives a great many examples of this issue on every OS. Example: https://www.google.com/search?q=macbook+wakes+up+when+closed&oq=macbook+wakes+from+suspend https://www.google.com/search?q=macbook+wakes+up+when+closed...

Definitely doesn't happen with Macs. I've had multiple MBPs over the years and it hasn't happened once. Based on what other people say on HN it doesn't happen for them either, while it seems to be common for Linux and occasional for Windows too.

  I've had one MBP and had it happen multiple times. Burning hot by the time I got the thing out of the bag. Worst laptop I've ever owned.
