Are there issues in Windows? Sure but if you give me 100 laptops, 80% will do this right without any issue. Maybe 30% of those laptops will work right on any Linux distro without major fucking around with bullshit trying to make it work. Yes those numbers are made up but I have been running versions of Linux since Slackware in the 90s. I still have a desktop with an amd cpu and nvidia gpu that I can’t get to sleep/suspend right. Works fine when dual boated in windows. I just gave up and manually do shit now when using Linux

Oh no, Windows Modern Standby is infamously terrible and unreliable. Here is a youtube video with millions of views explaining the problems in detail: https://youtu.be/OHKKcd3sx2c
Two years ago, that video was published.

Good thing it's all fixed now, eh! /s

0% of new Windows laptops support proper S3 sleep mode since Microsoft gutted it in favor of "modern standby".
Framework does! I think they might be the _only_ one to consistently support it.
Once upon a time, Windows sleep was reliable 99.xy% of the time. If you put a Windows laptop to sleep it stayed asleep cozily.

Now its like an elderly nursing home patient who wakes up several times and raids the kitchen to eat all the time.

The fall of a once great OS is sad to see. I guess AI matters more to Microsoft than their Core OS nowadays.
