I checked on my machine in detail, and was surprised to find that it’s using suspend-to-idle/s2idle, not even deep sleep. Deep sleep should save even more battery life, at the expense of requiring a couple extra seconds to wake from suspend (and at least on my Framework 12, requiring pressing the power button to wake rather than just opening the screen and/or pressing any keys)
cat /sys/power/mem_sleep should show you what your machine supports, and you can e.g. echo"deep" > /sys/power/mem_sleep as root to change this. I’ve tested both on my Framework 12 running Silverblue 43 and they both seem to function fine, though I’ll leave my machine in s2idle as I’m not in particular need of maximizing my battery life (this laptop for me is currently homebound so battery life isn’t the highest priority).
mem_sleep shows only s2idle, so I suppose that’s all I get. I don’t know why it’s so inefficient. Very annoying to forget to turn it off before I take it somewhere.
I love my framework, but it feels like modern technology should better than older technology.
Don’t get me started on the loss of hibernate 🤦♂️
Yup, waking it from suspend.
