Windows has been sleeping and rebooting in a matter of seconds for over a decade now ๐คทโโ๏ธ there sure is a lot of circle jerking going on because of my comment. I don't even have anything against iOS I was simply trying to ask about their biggest weakness.
s/iOS/MacOS/ :)
And ... yeah TBH things haven't changed. MacOS still doesn't support Vulkan or DirectX which immediately puts it in a niche space, and Proton also doesn't work for MacOS, so MacOS is arguably well behind Linux in gaming (though there are a few good native ports of a few serious games -- e.g., No Man's Sky).
The issue with Windows isn't that it can't sleep.
The issue is that you roll a D20 anytime you put it to sleep and if it rolls a prime number, the device actually randomly decides to overheat and drain your battery during "sleep" without any discernible cause.

Lol
The amount of possible hardware/software combinations in a windows laptop means these issues will in practice never get addressed.
Iโm a windows guy, but I recognize that the deck is stacked heavily in favor of apple here, and they make good use of it.
