Didn’t some tech youtubers talk about this a few months ago? I swear I remember seeing a video on this…

LTT did a big video with all the details.

“The always-on nature of phones and tablets is incredibly convenient. Wouldn’t it be great if your (non-ARM) laptop or desktop could do this too?”

Easy, get an M series Mac :P

This has literally been a problem since Windows ever came into being. I remember long nights of wrestling with this garbage on Jurassic versions of Windows.

I have one laptop running Windows and I just changed the BIOS/UEFI setting so that closing the display turns off the computer.

Also handy for Linux distros with poor standby/sleep support.

My ARM laptop is great. Was dirt cheap and it's pretty damn good for what it is

Btw, if my pc wakes up seconds after if try to manually via XfCE power menu, but sleeps fine by itself (20 minutes inactivity), what could that be?

Check journal, you should see either an error or a wakeup reason

There was a work around to prevent laptops to drain trough the night whilst in sleep. Removing the power cable before closing the lid activates a different sleep mode, than closing the lid with the power cable still connected.

Linus tech tips dit a video on this a while ago. If I recall correctly.

Found it
