Well yeah obviously it’s way more important on anything portable. For me it’s very reliable on Steam Deck. But that’s also kind of a core feature, and it only has one type of sleep (in game mode at least). But it does still drain battery faster than I’d like.
I’m curious, what kind of netbook is that one you mention?
Are you talking the full set of S0-S3 sleep as well as hibernation? Or just whatever your machine did by default? Because I’ve never had one do all of them correctly without freezing up or having some other issue, across multiple motherboard brands and BIOS updates and so forth. ~30 years here, Windows mostly then the last few on Linux.
Wait, are you suggesting it’s consistent and reliable on desktops?
C’mon, we all end up at /dev/null eventually. Just don’t gaze long into it or it might gaze into you.
