    suspend will always be broken on windows.

    even distro like Ubuntu can’t s0 properly because of hardware issues.

    valve specifically fixed this for the steam deck and no one else has bothered.

      Modern suspend is a complete joke IMO. Put the laptop to sleep in your backpack, and after a couple mins your back will literally start baking. Arrive at your destination and the battery is flat

      What was wrong with good ol’ S2/S3 sleep 😭

        a workaround is making sure the device is unplugged before suspend.

        there’s apparently no will to fix this through UEFI or Microsoft so always unplug first.

        Hard agree. I now just resort to hibernate after an hour or so and even getting that setting to show up requires a reg hack most of the time. Modern standby sucks.

        I don’t get it either. My thinkpad has option to switch s0 sleep on/off and I don’t understand why I would want to drain my battery and bake a backpack so it wakes up just a little faster.
