Why does Linux have such a terrible sleep? (programming.dev)

In 8 hours it uses 20% of the battery. When Windows or Mac are put to sleep, the damn things can sleep for a week! This is the case with Linux on multiple laptops.

Is there some kind of manipulation going by ring -1 that detects Linux is running? Is Linux not respecting some procedure and kissing a step?

This, Bluetooth, WiFi, screen scaling. 2026 and Linux nuts still tell people it’ll just work 🤣

    For common hardware, yeah it does. With my new lenovo work laptop it was just that - worked fine out of the box. Even dock and multiple displays...

    Exotic hardware always needs tinkering, Windows is no different there in my experience.

    I’ve never once actually had windows break on an update. Nix otoh is why immutable nix exist 🤣

    You can just run everything in containers so you’ll never ever have to break your machine running Pacman 🤣

    Super easy, super reliable.

    And how much of the world is run on Linux desktop specifically?

    You want to compare a desktop environment to a fucking webserver that probably doesn’t even have a gpu or have any concept of Wayland? 🤣Jesus Christ gtfo with that shit. Actually, that’s hilarious. What a dumb fucking statement.
