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

Whelp you just described why it won’t be the year of the Linux desktop.
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
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.
