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.

I unlocked my bios (luckily Lenovo allows that with just a "secret" key combination in the bios) and disabled modern sleep, enabled S3 and S2 and tried that, with the result that my Linux freezes every time on wake up instead of only half the time...

Don't know what exactly they messed up there, but it's frustrating.

What lenovo laptop do you have? I’ve had to use a special uefi tool to unlock mine

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9.

To unlock, go to the BIOS, open advanced settings, hold FN+R+N, release, press F10 to save and reboot, head back to the BIOS and all options are unlocked.

Some Lenovo laptops have other key combinations, some need a tool, some need a modified BIOS.
