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.
First thing I do on any OS, but especially linux, is turn off every sleep-related option permanently. I don’t care anymore. I won’t fight with it.
In 35 years of experience I’ve never got it to work correctly on any OS except IOS. I’ve only met ONE tech who claimed it worked for them, and that was in the 2000’s. He couldn’t demonstrate how exactly.
I do the same thing, turn that shit off because it does not work.
Do you mean iOS (iPhone) or IOS (Nintendo Wii) ? Or is there a third ?
Cisco firmware is also IOS.
The DOS BIOS was also sometimes called IOS, and the Input/Output Supervisor in the IBM OS/360 was also abbreviated as IOS.
Yeah I don’t bother with sleep either, I just turn all my stuff off when I’m done with it. With the advent of SSDs and M.2 drives, it takes about 10 seconds for my desktop to boot from fully powered off. I can wait that long lol
Trouble is you’ve then got to re-open all of your apps again. As a developer I have about 10 different things open (including zellij sessions and panes). I’ve started just leaving my computer on 24/7. How much does it cost me per month? Better not think about it!
