using linux + sleep = ur wrong. turn your computer off. sleep is a lie that never EVER did what it claimed. the only thing it's good for is enabling bad user behavior. period.
If I open my laptop within 24hrs then it is already ready by the time I finish opening the lid. This immediacy means I don’t lose my train of thought (ie; the reason I grabbed my laptop in the first place).
I’m a hard Linux lover, and begrudgingly use a MacBook, but sleep has a lot of value, and the Mac stuff seems to work a lot more consistently than what windows is offering. (Linux too, in a number of circumstances: though my old precision 5520 never had an issue with suspend)
Okay, I'll bite. Care to expand? What behavior, and why is it bad? Why should users not expect a "suspend" state to work (more or less) as advertised?
edit: Or are you arguing that the only "correct" states are running and complete shutdown? Why would that be preferred?
