It's not really Linux' fault. Most It's Microsoft that forced this, and most vendors don't know how to deal with this and work proper firmware. I think Framework and Valve fixed theirs. I have a GPD and just found out that the reason I kept getting it wake from sleep was some MS related option triggering an ACPI IRQ 9 sleep wake.
On another note, I actually think that the most important things that work better on the Apple devices is the mic and camera, the rest is somewhat unimportant on the go if you work at a desk.
- baq 1y agoAs a user I don't care whose fault is it. I want my laptop to go to sleep when I close the lid; I want it to stay asleep while the lid is closed; I want it to wake when I open the lid. Only macs seem to be able to do that consistently; I'd be glad to be proven wrong, but over the past decade I haven't found a counterexample yet.

- mrj 1y agoI’ve never had a problem with a system76 or tuxedo computers laptop using suspend correctly. If you want it to just work, you may need to buy from a manufacturer who you pay to make it just work. Otherwise you’re comparing a dyi setup to Apple.
- commandersaki 1y agoI don't think that's even true with my m3 mbp16. I haven't tweaked with the power settings but I'm pretty sure it is in a connected sleep state when I close the lid; at least when I'm hotspotting my phone will register it as a connected device.
- leeman2016 1y agoYes, I can confirm. But i thought that was by design
- alanpearce 1y agoThis can be enabled or disabled under the System Settings > Battery > Options > Wake for network access (Always / Power adapter / Never). Or possibly the phone registers it as connected for a while after it sends its last packet?
- mbreese 1y agoIIRC, Macs also do tricky networking things to make it faster to come back online from sleep. I'd be curious if the computer is actually sending packets vs. just keeping the address configured and waiting. (That may just be on iOS though...)
- megatron2009 1y agoDell latitude laptops sleep very reliably. I have had 4 in a row now since 2007. Also as a side note, as a user, I agree you don't care whose fault is it, but then this is hacker news where we are interested in whose fault it is.
- KerrAvon 1y agoI think Intel is partially at fault. On Apple’s Intel hardware, suspend and resume worked, but it was very slow due to the weirdly baroque power management. The M1 MacBooks were a revelation; the screen woke instantly when you opened it.
- rjzzleep 1y agoAMD removed s3 suspend support on Phoenix due to Microsoft pressure. So you can enter S3, but the GPU can't resume from it.
