In my experience Power Management is broken on Windows and Linux the same way. Some laptops do work better then others, but none of both Systems works fully reliable. My work HP Elitebook 845 G8 also has the problem of waking itself up in my backpack and boiling to Death (empty Battery). And it is running on Windows. Don’t know if Apple with their MacBooks have similar problems.

i think the good alternative is to get a really fast drive and hibernate everytime you close the lid. Sure it’s slower to resume but with ssd that shouldnt be an issue. Or if Framework has 2 drives we can suspend the image to that 2nd drive then use the main drive to boot up off of it. I was loaned a Macbook at my previous workplace. Didnt really use it much because my work apps do not work on Mac. So it sat on the shelves until the day I left the company (too much toxicity). I only used it once or twice when doing presentations. Anyway, that thing suspened pretty much 10/10. The power save is better too: i closed the lid on Sunday night and next Sunday, when open up the lid the battery was at 95%.

Apple is best in class with standby. For the first time in my linux life I’ve got good stand by with my 13th gen Lenovo X1 carbon. The standby and low power states actually work.
