I’m contemplating to replace 1-2 aging desktops in our home by “gaming” laptops.
What really bugs me with the Linux laptops I currently have is that sleep is unstable or inefficient. On one device it sometimes just won’t wake up. On both the battery is drained fully within few days. I have a MacBook at work and know I’ll probably not hit the same level of stability and efficiency in sleep, but I’m wondering whether hardware choice can play a role in improving the experience, especially seeing how I might make this my primary device moving forward.
I often grab the Linux laptop and end up going for the work MacBook or my ipad because the battery is dead and I only wanted to check something real quick - it’s okay with an old leftover device but it sort of irritates me.
Update: I also experience battery drain when shut down and would love to reduce that. A laptop is a device I keep ready but not necessarily plugged in. As a parent I might not use it for a few days here or there.
It’s a software setting, not hardware.

You don’t need a framework laptop to get unsupported “as-is” hibernate .
That is not what that says at all…
You mentioned a problem, you’ve been given the solution, yet you’re still here to rail against it…
I think it does say that.
Framework is great, but they are premium. He is saying you don’t need to pay the premium to get the same “it probably works” level of support.
Friend…$700-1000 is NOT a premium. Especially not for what you’re actually getting. You need to reevaluate your life 🤣
