I told it to power off. It rebooted to do updates. Once these updates were done, it powered off. Kinda like Windows. 😂

Just a heads up, if you’re on the 7040 mainboard, I needed to add this to the kernel command line on Debian 13 for reliable suspend/resume. Without it, the screen would just be grey sometimes and not resume

Whelp you just described why it won’t be the year of the Linux desktop.
Depends on the distro… Bazzite.gg is ready for gamers and general users. I have MX Linux, version “ahs” had the drivers for my GPU, and hibernation works.
I’ve never had a Windows laptop suspend correctly, so…
I guess it’s the year of the macOS desktop?
“suspend” is Microsoft corpo speak to say “turn off the screen and fans and use 100% of the CPU to install updates, user expects to have its battery depleted when he comes back”
I have been soloing Linux for 5 years now.
But tbh, I have had almost no issues regarding suspend/hibernate on Windows. On Linux, on the other hand… For starters, hibernate never worked for me.
That’s why I was saying macOS is really the only option if your definition of “year of” is suspend/resume reliability. It highly depends on the hardware for Linux/Windows
The last two Windows laptops I’ve used (last 5 years), one wouldn’t suspend correctly (in suspend, it wouldn’t fully suspend and drained >5% battery/hour) and the other, on resume, couldn’t play audio without restarting
