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?

I've found on my corpo dell-
Disable wifi
Sleep from start menu
Wait until fan stops spinning
Close lid

I find my laptop suffocating itself in my bag every single time i don't. This way, it only does that 1 in 10 times.
