Why is sleep so hard for laptops? (lemmy.world)

And it's crap across the OSes. On Linux laptops don't wake up from sleep, on Windows they keep waking up when nobody asks for it.

In our home office room there's three laptops. My private one running Fedora, my work PC that sadly runs Windows and my wife's laptop also running Windows.

My work laptop and my wife's laptop keep waking up wasting electricity, and my private laptop needs a hard reset to wake it up every second time.

That feature should be stupid simple, yet it doesn't work across the board.

Rant over.

Its mostly the blue light and the lack of melatonin. Seriously though I have not had an issue with it in linux and not really that much with windows but half the time I shut my machine down.

Instructions unclear, now my laptop is covered in sticky stuff.
