In 8 hours it uses 20% of the battery. When Windows or Mac are put to sleep, the damn things can sleep for a week! This is the case with Linux on multiple laptops.

Is there some kind of manipulation going by ring -1 that detects Linux is running? Is Linux not respecting some procedure and kissing a step?

I kept losing tons of battery on my steam deck even when turned fully off. I had to disable quick boot (in the bios) and its been better but of course takes longer to boot
