An exciting post-Christmas patch series out on the Linux kernel mailing list this morning is proposing a new runtime standby ABI that is similar in nature to the "Modern Standby" functionality found with Microsoft Windows.

Antheas Kapenekakis sent out the patch series today proposing this new runtime standby ABI for Linux. Antheas Kapenekakis is one of the developers heavily involved in the Linux gaming handheld space with working on the OneXPlayer driver, ASUS ROG Ally improvements, MSI handheld improvements, and more.

Modern Standby is a low-power mode on Windows 11 for letting systems remain connected to the network and appear "sleeping" but will allow for instant wake-up for notifications, music playback, and other functionality. The display is off, the network remains online, and background tasks can wake-up the ystem if needed with Microsoft Modern Standby.

I was forced to use a mac recently. I believe this may be what it also does. It's absolute insanity and I hate the behavior with passion. If I put it to sleep I want it to stay sleeping, dead, not running, not using the network, not draining my Bluetooth headphones that were connected and I expected for them to turn off.. or to keep receiving slack notifications on it instead of them routing properly to the other really connected device....

I hate this timeline.

Well the good thing is that we usually have a choice on Linux. I really hope the term napping for this catches on.

On Mac you can disable what they call power nap to stop this.

So we can add napping to sleep and hibernate
