Sleep kind of sucks on the original 11th gen hardware. They pushed out a bios update that broke S3 sleep, so now all you've got is the s2idle version, which the kernel is only OK at. Your laptop bag might heat up. S3 breaking isn't really their fault, Intel deprecated it. Still annoying though. I've heard the Chromebook version and other newer gens have better sleep support.
Other than that, it's great. NixOS runs just fine, even the fingerprint reader works, which has been rare for Linux
I can live with that, my thinkpad won't sleep properly at the moment anyway (I've taken to just running systemctl hibernate before closing the lid, I should probably set that to the default behaviour instead of suspend at some point)
you should enable
suspend-then-hibernateinstead. laptop suspends normally and if not woken in, say, an hour, the RTC hibernates it to disk.Doesn't work, I've already spent ages trying to get this to work properly and have basically just given up at this point.
I don't mind waiting for it to recover from hibernation, I only hibernate it once or twice a day anyway
not to trample on your experiences, but you can make it work. it's true it's super cumbersome and involved though.
I've had/got it working on a T420s, T480s, T14, MBPr 2012, on debian, fedora, and arch. it helps if it's not your primary/only workstation so you can tweak it without pressure. keep at it, it's worth it, I can't imagine using my laptops any other way.
maybe do I write-up one of these days.
I'm not doubting it's possible but with the combination of my hardware and the fact I'm on nixos it proved to be too much trial and error, too many options to try and too much time to iterate as I needed to reboot every time it didn't work
Is that the case for the AMD boards as well?
Couldn't tell you unfortunately. It looks like AMD is also on board with deprecating S3 sleep, so I would guess that it's not significantly better. The kernel controls the newer standby modes, so it's really going to depend on how well it's supported there.
Pretty much all my sleep/suspend issues with Linux went away when I switched to Manjaro from Fedora on my 11th gen Framework 13. Sometimes it doesn't work, but the majority of the time I can open my laptop after a couple days and still have most of my battery.
What kernel are you running? From what I understand, that should be the major differentiator if you're not using S3.
Do you know how to make the fingerprint reader work on my newly purchased Carbon X1 Gen 6 with Ubuntu on it? I've gone to great lengths to make it work but still haven't found a solution
Not in general, sorry. Best bet is to make sure you're using the most recent kernel, which Ubuntu tends to lag on. You can also try checking out the arch wiki entry for it. It's a different distro, but the wiki is good and commonly has tips relevant for any distro.
Thank you!
