    Seamless sleep on close and wake up on open. Macs still does it best, but Linux it’s an adventure each time.

        The wake on LAN option is an absolute joke too.

        Leave computer for a while > goes to sleep

        Come back in the morning > computer is on and room is warm

        No magic packet was sent, it just decided it was going to wake up and then ignore the “sleep after X minutes” setting and just remain on.

        Get your shit together Microsoft…

      I think that’s a per installation thing, cause mine has always had issues with sleep mode - ironically no problem with hibernation though haha

        I dislike apple as a company but I have about 19 years of experience very much to the opposite of this claim.

            Because Bluetooth is a separate hardware module than the CPU. “Sleep” is just a low-power state for the CPU, one of the “S” states. Other modules on the motherboard are still powered and can handle their own tasks, like Wake on LAN received at your network card, or keeping your RAM hot with your running programs.
