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

seamless sleep

On Windows?!? Talk about an anecdotal experience

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

Mac really does not do this well. You’re ostensibly just not noticing it.

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

On my Microsoft Surface laptop I had a horrible experience with sleep and wake on close and open with windows. More than half the time it wouldn’t wake up on its own and I would have to either have an external keyboard or just turn it off. Currently that same laptop is running opensuse tumbleweed and wake and sleep on close and open works about 85 percent of the time. It isn’t perfect still but it’s way better than windows was.
