Why is sleep so hard for laptops? (lemmy.world)

And it's crap across the OSes. On Linux laptops don't wake up from sleep, on Windows they keep waking up when nobody asks for it.

In our home office room there's three laptops. My private one running Fedora, my work PC that sadly runs Windows and my wife's laptop also running Windows.

My work laptop and my wife's laptop keep waking up wasting electricity, and my private laptop needs a hard reset to wake it up every second time.

That feature should be stupid simple, yet it doesn't work across the board.

Rant over.

System76? Shouldn't they have support for such a case?

No idea how system76 configures their builds.

I'd check awiki if nothning else helps.

Possibly, tbh I spent a few hours on it and gave up, the laptop is due for a replacement anyways. It has other problems too, the touchpad connector is very flaky. Not sure I would go with them again..
