My laptop only supports S0, which is already extremely annoying.

My laptop is an Asus with a Ryzen 9. If I wanted to have to muddle around with wifi drivers and wakeup timers to have a barely functioning device I'd install Slackware on a 2010 Thinkpad.

So you don't want to "muddle around", and therefore the laptop you have, an "Asus with a Ryzen 9" is "extremely annoying". That's paying an lot of money to be annoyed by a top of the line CPU, but ok I guess?

Meanwhile, my foldable OLED thinkpad and my regular one, both with ridiculous Intel CPUs that are totally crushed by Ryzens are perfectly functional, both on Windows and Linux, and I enjoy them a lot!

Yet you call them "barely functioning" and insinuate they are as primitive as "Slackware on a 2010 Thinkpad"? Wow, if that isn't entitlement, I don't know what it is!

If you had been a little nicer, I would have offered some help to improve your S0idle experience.

I would suggest a little bit of self reflection, as I think your hardware is wasted on you due to your unwillingness of correctly configuring modern options.
