From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It should be that if i close the laptop and leave it, even overnight, it should only lose maybe 5% battery, but it actually loses all of it, as if it was on (it gets maybe 5 hrs of battery life)

I have it set to sleep after 5 minutes. What sorts of logs should I check to diagnose the problem?

Fedora 41 KDE spin on a 6th gen lenovo x1 carbon (intel i5-8650U)

aside from this, i really am enjoying linux on my new toy

thank you all

Now we need a package called alcohol that makes your laptop go to sleep but still drains its battery

So, whatever Windows 11 does on my work laptop when I tell it to standby and it shuts off the screen but proceeds to spin the fans to 100% continuously?

"Just got to spin through a few trillion instructions to get things sorted before we go to standby! Won't be a minute!"

Sleep State S5: alcohol induces intermittent sleep where the monitor keeps coming on and the turning off for indeterminate amounts of time during the night.
