> On Windows/macOS it just works, on Linux you'll probably break secure boot with it.

The way it works on my Windows laptop is it’ll stay in sleep overnight, then when I open the laptop in the morning it’ll wake up, then hibernate itself, then I have to wait for the computer to turn itself back on. Thankfully this feature can be turned off.

The way it works on mine is that I open it in the morning to find it powered off because it chose to force quit my running applications to apply updates.

That’s my experience too. It’s so infuriating!

The solution is to disable Wake Timers.

That’s nice, at least it’s off. Mine usually hangs and ends up hot in the morning. I have to forcefully turn it off.

Luckily for me, I usually run Linux on this laptop which sleeps just fine.
