I hate that this is true. I have 10 year old hardware and I still haven't managed to get suspend on lid close to work.
Also, power management? Linux seems really power hungry. I expect 6ish hours out of the battery I have, but with Linux doing browsing and coding I get 2 to 3ish hours, even with cpu throttling and the dimmest back light settings.
Have mainline Fedora or Ubuntu solved these issues?
- zelphirkalt 1y agoIt all depends on your hardware and whether that is well supported. The blame lies with hardware manufacturers keeping secrets and proprietary software vendors. It is a reverse engineering effort to get this stuff to work properly.
- worthless-trash 1y agoNo distro solves problems by itself, the upstream kernel does. Fedora pushes upstream first, ubuntu much later if it does. Because computers are complex, and there are many computers with many different hardware configurations nobody can answer if it solves the issues for you.
- daemonologist 1y agoI'm on mainline Fedora on a Thinkpad Z13 (Gen 1). Sleep works unless I connect or disconnect a thunderbolt device while the machine is sleeping (which hard crashes the system); I would say it's noticeably more reliable than Windows. Power consumption is still poor in all states - usable, but generally worse than under Windows and pathetic compared to a Macbook.
