From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Proper, built-in, functional sleep and hibernation
I'm using PopOS and this works pretty well
Oh really? I've been thinking about making a move to Pop. I'm waiting until at least the next LTS is out though.
Hibernation doesn't work at all on my windows HP work laptop. Sleep has gotten way way better on Linux in the past 2 years even. My desktop that would be buggy going in and out of sleep has now been flawless such that I auto sleep it after 30 minutes.
Battery life on Linux still sucks though.
My thinkpad’s battery is much happier on Linux than windows. It’s hibernate and sleep work as expected. My windows work laptop can’t even wake from sleep properly unless I I open the lid and re plug the dock each time it’s gone to sleep.
A customizable shortcut key would be so good. I've tried to set that up on my own to be alt because that's what Haiku uses but it's just impossible to get very many applications to follow it. Probably there's no way to consistently do it without getting every application to follow some standard for determining what it should be.
If you could set them system wide, that'd be a dream
