Running arch with wayland and sway on a framework. Setting up sleep-then-hibernate via systemd works beautifully. I only lose a few % overnight.

That’s the thing with running Linux as a desktop, you’ve gotta tweak it to get it just right.

Battery life is a non issue for me on the framework. The speakers on the other hand is a brutal downgrade.

If you're running arch with wayland and sway, then yes absolutely. For people who stick with the default (often Gnome) I haven't had to tweak anything in many years. So I would just s/Linux/customized Linux/ or something like that. Mainly it only matters because some people will be scared away by "you’ve gotta tweak it to get it just right" so accuracy is important to me.

What distro are you on with hibernate working out of the box (with an encrypted filesystem hopefully)?
