Linux is cool, I can do a lot of things with it. If i set a config file in Linux, I am damn sure that it is ran every single time. The code does what you tell it to do.
There is 1 thing that always seems to be “black magic”: 1) lid close and suspend 2) lid close and suspend and lock.
If we ignore locking for a moment and focus on suspend. I cant seem to figure out why sometimes lid close would suspend immediately, when other time it takes 5 seconds after lid closes. On some days, lid closes would not even suspend !!
Did anyone manage to get suspend work 100 %? I cant believe we have tons of great linux tools and years into kernel dev, and still suspend is a hit or miss.
For starters, do you know if your laptop does S3 sleep or S0? I feel like the latter introduces a lot of uncertainty.
