That explains why my 2017 Dell XPS 13 9360 with an 8th gen i7 never went to sleep properly. Originally it would just keep running the fans and the battery would drain. Then after a while it seemed to start sleeping but never turned on again so you’d have to reboot anyway. In the end I wiped Windows 11 off it and installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Now shutting the lid works just fine.
I also have an XPS 13 9310 with an 11th gen i7 and Windows 11, and if I close the lid it seems to sleep but sometimes I come back to a completely dead battery.
I don’t really understand the point of Modern Standby. Who wants the laptop to do things when it’s closed and possibly in a backpack with no ventilation? That’s when we want it not to do things.
People are using their smartphones instead of their PCs. That hurts sales. So PCs need to behave more like smartphones, e.g. by being able to notify you of new messages at all times. Then people will surely ditch their smartphones again and buy laptops.
Intel, Microsoft et al never considered that that’s fundamentally not how PCs should work.
This is one area where Apple has it pretty right. A Mac will do somethings when ‘asleep’ like download emails and texts. It also can broadcast its location if the ‘Find Me’ function is on. If it’s plugged into power then backups will also run, and background app updates will happen. It does this in a low power mode, so it won’t get hot enough to need fans. It’s worked flawlessly for 20 years. Meanwhile all our PCs are set to ‘never sleep’ and just get shutdown when not in use. I never trust a PC laptop to wake successfully from sleep just by closing the lid.
So instead of looking into the settings and disabling fastboot, you decided to completely wipe the OS and install something else?
And here I thought Linux users understood technology…
It’s not at all a fastboot issue, and I had other reasons to use Linux.
Fastboot has nothing to do with this.
Like all these complaints about Windows: this can be changed in the settings
the point is we shouldn’t be having to do this extra work. MS is one shit misleading and deceptive crappy turd of a company and ll its directors and staff need to be thrown into prison as fucking criminals. no alternative.
Bad behavior in Windows article up on the Fediverse for four hours and no one telling us how their Linux laptop doesn’t have this problem?
My Linux laptop doesn’t have this problem 😁.
Sounds like it’s a combo of bad Windows behavior and buggy implementations, but had to deliver the joke first.
My Linux laptop doesn’t have this problem as well except for when I have an external drive plugged via USB which was almost always for backups: then it makes the screen go black and turns the fans on 100% and stays that way. Forever. If I’m fast enough there’s a small window of time where I can mash random buttons to make it wake up again. Luckily this doesn’t seem to happen with external SSDs plugged in via USB so it’s all good 🤷♀️
My Linux laptop doesn’t have this problem, in fact it enters such a deep sleep that it needs to be force shutdown and rebooted if I remove any USB device whilst it’s asleep
Haha, we sound like people complainimg about the weather, it’s either to hot or too cold! Too much sleeping, not enough sleeping, you can’t make these weird humans happy either way! __
Huh, is this also why my gaming PCs the last 5 or so years are absolutely dogshit at staying asleep? I’ve never come across the term even though I’ve spent too much time troubleshooting and identifying which peripheral woke the computer up. The most annoying thing is that there is a toggle for “allow wake event” in device manager but it seems to be a mild suggestion at best… For some devices like keyboard and mouse it’s 50/50 if it does anything it seems. I’ve resorted to just locking and shutting the screen off…
I swear Microsoft is intentionally trying to drive me away to Linux. Tried everything you can imagine to stop my pc from waking up when I put to sleep or hibernation. Yet the best I can get is it always waking up first time and then properly sleeping after the second attempt. I’m only stopped because of VR and dumb Anti cheat in a few games.
You’re going to hate that laptops like the Dell xps 13 specifically stopped supporting the better, older s3 sleep. Though in some cases linux may work well with “modern standby”. It still isn’t as good as s3.
Well, two of my Arch Linux desktops recently don’t like to shut down but reboot instead. What gives?
Borked ACPI implementation. Lubuntu 18.04 used to do this on my HP 2000 Notebook PC (not my daily driver)
on two completely different systems, one of which is an HP prebuilt desktop and the other a custom made one, when it worked flawlessly before and just suddenly stopped working with Kernel 6.1? Even if that’s an ACPI fuckup by the manufacturer, they seem to have patched out the Kernel’s mitigations for it.
