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?

Every piece of shit windows laptop since they flipped from S3 sleep to "modem standby." garbage. Thing wakes up in the bag at the slightest whiff of wifi. "Oh! Network! Want me to connect so I can install updates, delete all your pinned tabs, break a few apps, and infect notepad with AI slop vulnerabilities? No answer? That must mean you want that - doing it now, boss!"

Dell, Lenovo, and Surface laptops all do the same shit. I fucking hate windows.

Dell support even told me, with a straight face, that if I didn't fully shut down my laptop before putting in my bag that I'd void the warranty.

    That's insane, what the fuck? BTW, the owner of Dell is a right-wing dude who supports DHH. I'm not surprised they they have such shitty customer service.
