Or Macintosh. My $DAYJOB Macbook sleeps properly about about 2 out of 10 times, at best. Most of the time it fails to sleep and by the next morning when I open it up, the battery is dead. :-(

For comparison, my System76 laptop running PopOS! sleeps perfectly, every time with no issues. shrug

Important to remember that work laptops typically install all sorts of crap spyware and fleet management software that causes the system to misbehave. That’s not as much on Apple although not protecting their brand against such software is on them.


Good point. And this machine does have the typical stack of enterprise spyware crapola. Curiously enough though, sleep / suspend do work occasionally. Just not consistently.

You use a 20+ year old[1] PowerPC laptop for your dayjob?

Talk about hardware longevity!

[1]: Powerbooks were last made in 2006 I think?


Typo/brainfart/whatever. I meant to say Macbook. It's about 2 years old.
