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?

One laptop I have is from 2020 and has S3 sleep. Linux even reports it has S3 sleep, but it loses 20% every day when sleeping. It's nuts.
