Why does Linux have such a terrible sleep? (programming.dev)

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?

Yeah... I don't exactly the relationship between S0ix, s2idle, and "modern sleep" - I'm sure there's some overlap but to me it's all the same: it's not old-fashioned S3 sleep, and it just doesn't work properly. I remember reading that with my laptop specifically, S3 was replaced with S0ix so I'm pretty sure that's the right term in this case ;)
