In 8 hours it uses 20% of the battery. When Windows or Mac are put to sleep, the damn things can sleep for a week! This is the case with Linux on multiple laptops.

Is there some kind of manipulation going by ring -1 that detects Linux is running? Is Linux not respecting some procedure and kissing a step?

    I love that. Though I’m less impressed by my Steam Deck draining the battery on idle sleep (no game running) within like two days, and even in shutdown within about a week.

      two days

      I think that’s just how sleep works. Turn the thing off or put it in hibernation if i you’re mid game and think it’ll be days

        That’s not how sleep works for other devices. With a game running it’s about a day, which I don’t have an issue with. But in idle standby or especially shutdown it shouldn’t consume that much power.
