    I had to spend an annoying amount of time finding all of the settings to make it so that my windows machine would never wake up on its own, spread out over an even longer period of time because some of them aren't easy to trigger on my own so it was a matter of trying something and then trying more things if I find it awake on its own again.

    Even disabling the wake on mouse movement was a pain because it doesn't properly label mice and keyboards and doesn't have a global setting. I wanted to keep wake on keyboard but not have it wake if my mouse moved a nm because a butterfly flapped its wings too vigorously as it flew by the closed window.

    After I installed Linux, I went to do the same thing there only to find it already had sensible defaults set.

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

    That's how easy updating is on (Debian flavors)Linux.

    [–] igiIq@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

    On arch it is sudo pacman -Syu or yay

    [–] bradd@lemmy.world 1 points 54 minutes ago

    On RHEL it's simply sudo dnf update -y

    Turn the fucking PSU off, dipshits. Perfectly safe to do while hibernated, and you're now in complete control of when it powers on.

    [–] Manticore@lemmy.nz 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

    Modern PCs don't truly hibernate, they sleep. If the tower loses power its considered a hard reset.

    If anything, Windows machines often have 'fast boot' enabled which saves certain things to state, so today's manual shutdown (without power loss) is closer to old school hibernation than today's 'sleep' is.

    You can shutdownyour PC each night, but depending on what you're working on it can disrupt workflow, so I understand why many people prefer to sleep instead.

    My PC does this really annoying thing, whenever I tell it to Install and Shut Down the bloody thing restarts every time

    [–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

    That's because the shutdown hardly exists anymore. When you choose shutdown now it just hibernates. Reboot is the only way to get the full refresh of a shutdown unless you're using CMD.

    Ugh, the updates.....my work PC is Win 11, I got an email from IT last night telling me I had to install the latest update I had been putting off. This morning after I clocked out I started the update. I have 500 down and it took almost 2 hours to download and 3 hours later the installation is only at 53%. I'm just going to go to bed and hope it's done by the time I have to clock in tonight.

    And my coworkers wonder why I prefer Linux.....

    [–] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

    I like and I do use Linux as my main OS. No dual boot BS, just pure Linux

    butttttttttttttt

    getting hibernate working perfectly in Linux on new hardware is PITA. I'm just happy with suspend working well, let alone hibernation.

    Modern standby is the absolute shit of an invention.

    This is the ONLY reason I wish I have a Mac. Forget all the memes and jokes about Apple, their laptops suspend very well. IIRC, they also have a hibernation timer built in, so if your laptop automatically hibernates after X hrs. But I dont want to be stuck in their ecosystem, so yeh...

    Linux devs are not that keen to make hibernate work well either. Remember systemd dev forcefully removed the "suspend then hibernate" feature? You can still find the thread on Github lol.

    [–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 45 minutes ago

    OpenSUSE hibernate works. Just have to add extention to show the hibernate button (in GNOME)

    [–] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 5 hours ago

    this meme is really true for windows, sometimes my pc wakes up the second I put it to sleep. seems to be some random app I have open allowing it to wake up again. infuriating. With intel macs, they wasted a lot of battery asleep, but my silicon mac can sleep for weeks without losing hardly any battery. linux I still can't get sound to work properly.

    [–] SitD@lemy.lol 16 points 22 hours ago

    this meme is especially true for students and the likes πŸ˜‚ whenever you share a one-room flat with a laptop made by clueless techbros for clueless techbros, the increased fan whirring really shines.

    "My PC" was even replaced with "this PC" since Windows 11, which feels almost too symbolic...

    [–] blarth@thelemmy.club 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    To be fair, Linux has not been especially awesome at suspended/hibernate/resume, historically.

    Yea, I like to suspend my machine, but rather than hit suspend and walk away I have to wait to find out what has prevented suspend from suspending. That and it trying to goto sleep when I don't want it to. Drives me nuts

    🀭and sometimes, if you wake your linux things go to shit and all you see is black screen and white mouse on it

    Sometimes super+ctrl+alt+F8 saves me and I can restart PC from TTY, and sometimes, there is only a flashing cursor. In second case, I have to take hard measures and forcefully manually restart it

    (Yes nvidia card with latest proprietary driver and kde on wayland) -> everything latest meaning from endeavour/arch/aur repos.

    Not every Nvidia but always Nvidia.

    Another day of learning about Linux from the comments under a meme.

    [–] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (5 children)

    Nope. My Linux Mint randomly wakes up from sleep mode all the time. It's just a bug. Tried to fix it, never found solution. I guess I am fine with it. Well. Not really. Help me if you can!!11!!

    [–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    My first guess world be unplug your mouse and keyboard and see if it still happens. Your mouse or keyboard could be sending phantom inputs sometimes. If it's a laptop maybe not though or you'd have to test it another way at least. But it's the first thing I'd do.

    The main thing I'm learning from this thread is that a surprising number of people don't shut their machines down when they're done using them. Which is wild to me.

    [–] vodka@lemm.ee 69 points 1 day ago (10 children)

    A lot of modern windows laptop don't let you shut them down.

    They use something called Windows Hybrid Sleep and it should be illegal. Selecting shut down in windows will keep the machine in a state where it will turn on at random times to check for updates. Especially fun whrn in your backpack creating a furnace.

    Thankfully it can be disabled via AD policy.

    [–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Shouldn't have to use fucking group policy just to stop your machine updating at inopportune times. Fucking Windows.

    [–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    It's always funny to me when people call Linux complicated and in the next sentence say shit like that

    As if doing registry edits and group policy stuff is acceptable for basic features and settings
