    Seamless sleep on close and wake up on open. Macs still does it best, but Linux it’s an adventure each time.

        The wake on LAN option is an absolute joke too.

        Leave computer for a while > goes to sleep

        Come back in the morning > computer is on and room is warm

        No magic packet was sent, it just decided it was going to wake up and then ignore the “sleep after X minutes” setting and just remain on.

        Get your shit together Microsoft…

            When i deactivate wol, it sleeps just as it should. It goes to sleep after a while and only comes back if i hit a button on the mouse or a key on the keyboard.

            I’m not sure what else could be conflicting with wol, but the sleep function only goes haywire when it’s enabled.

      On my Microsoft Surface laptop I had a horrible experience with sleep and wake on close and open with windows. More than half the time it wouldn’t wake up on its own and I would have to either have an external keyboard or just turn it off. Currently that same laptop is running opensuse tumbleweed and wake and sleep on close and open works about 85 percent of the time. It isn’t perfect still but it’s way better than windows was.

        I dislike apple as a company but I have about 19 years of experience very much to the opposite of this claim.

            Because Bluetooth is a separate hardware module than the CPU. “Sleep” is just a low-power state for the CPU, one of the “S” states. Other modules on the motherboard are still powered and can handle their own tasks, like Wake on LAN received at your network card, or keeping your RAM hot with your running programs.

              Right. And it does so with minimal battery loss like any competent hardware in the 2020s. Most of the x86/64 world (Intel really) just can’t figure this concept out apparently. I’ve had a total of 1 PC laptop that did and it’s an AMD Ryzen 5000. That thing sleeps beautifully. I blame Intel for most of the weird issues people see.
