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.

To be fair, Windows has had standby issues forever, so the only thing that's different here from 20 years ago is that Linux does it reliably.

I have the same issues with my Intel MacBook. Maybe "background tasks can wake-up the system if needed" is not really needed on notebooks and actually a dumb concept for non-phone devices.
