And it’s crap across the OSes. On Linux laptops don’t wake up from sleep, on Windows they keep waking up when nobody asks for it.

In our home office room there’s three laptops. My private one running Fedora, my work PC that sadly runs Windows and my wife’s laptop also running Windows.

My work laptop and my wife’s laptop keep waking up wasting electricity, and my private laptop needs a hard reset to wake it up every second time.

That feature should be stupid simple, yet it doesn’t work across the board.

Rant over.

    Possibly, tbh I spent a few hours on it and gave up, the laptop is due for a replacement anyways. It has other problems too, the touchpad connector is very flaky. Not sure I would go with them again…

        Turns out that the touch pad was waking it up, once I fixed that sleep worked normally again. The only last issue is that the USB c port does not really work for charging so you have to lug their power adapter everywhere like a portable desktop. But if you could do USB to barrel power it would be completely fixed. Sometimes I have to apply strong downward pressure tl the touch pad but nbd.

        Spent 30 or so hours fixing all the issues with the laptop but now its great! Not for the faint of heart lol.
