It always amuses me when people say that Windows is easier to use than Linux, which is absolutely false and only coincides with basic functions, but not if you want to make Windows do what the you want and not the other way around. Windows allows you to tame it completely, it has all the necessary settings, but naturally these are becoming less and less intuitive and more hidden.
It's easier for people who don't know what they're doing. The limitations keep those users from breaking things and provide a decent out-of-the-box experience for the user. The very same limitations feel, well, limiting to users like you.
One of us. One of us.
I mean, I'm not, but only because I am too lazy to change (so far). I've been remarkably content with the Steam Deck desktop experience, so I'm leaning more and more towards Linux.
I have a Mac / Linux background. I took a job where I supported primarily Windows machines. I remember wanting to set a machine to NTP to solve an out-of-sync time issue. I knew what the goddamned computer protocol was, but futzed around trying to find where I could enable it for ten minutes. Windows is confusing as fuck. I say that as a person who has since learned where shit is in this bullshit OS.

Sleep has always been a hit or miss. My HP probook would wake up just to tell me the battery is low. Then, proceeded to sleep, because the battery was low. Then, wake up, to tell me the battery is low...
That would be a product of the HP code mills.
This is the other drawback, standby consumes battery
fast startup is pretty good tho.
win11 tases painfully long time to coldboot (2-3 minutes, somehow even slower than linux boot times on an 8 year old laptop) even from a fast nvme drive and fast boot solves that issue
In 2-3 minutes I am already posting on Lemmy with W10, there is not much difference between cold and fast boot, it may be because of the SSD. I prefer cold boot, because with fast boot it boots maybe a few seconds faster, but a lot of garbage remains in memory that slows down the system.
pff, just power the PC off completely, that'l put it to sleep. Don't trust that windows actually powers it off? Unplug the thing! While you are at it power off that phone of yours completely, that'l put the annoying notifications sounds and buzzing to rest.
just as i saw this post my computer i put to sleep woke up presumably because updates pending or some bullshit like that
My desktop isn't a problem, but the Dell laptop issued by my employer is a pain. It can take over an hour to load the models I work on, so I only shut down over the weekend and sleep it weeknights. Every time some BS, probably hidden behind admin credentials by IBM will wake it up within 20 minutes. Luckily I've discovered pulling the power and leaving it in battery keeps it asleep.
You might be able to fix this by disabling "modern standby". That was the key on my Dell laptop from work having the same issue and threatening to melt my backpack every night.
I'm not sure the corporate lockdown will allow that, but I'll look into it thanks.
Huh, I have the opposite issue on my new tablet. If it stays in sleep mode for more than an hour while unplugged, it goes into full shutdown mode and has to be booted up when I need it again. Asus flow z13
The default power plan Asus setup is doing this. You change power plan settings.
That sounds like hybrid sleep, or low battery, or something.
Never heard of that happening unless it was a battery issue
