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.
A lot depends on hardware actually, mix of USB Controller, video card, UEFI and etc type of suspeing s3,s0ix so huge fragmentation actually, it so bad that eveb on modern windows it holy crap shit not work because they forced on s2idle. Tell what ur hardware and please share journactl logs of when it fails
