Whenever I try Linux on my laptops, I always seem to have issues with sleep/resume from closing the lid.
While my wife's Macbooks battery lasts for like 18 hours.
Maybe the brand? I generally use HP and Dell (and Debian/Ubuntu) and, while always bracing for something not to work, have generally not run into any issues.
I'm using an old Dell XPS 13. It's 10ish years old. That could be part of the problem. I'm currently using chromeOS flex on it. It's fairly usable, but I don't have audio. I really only use it rarely and for things like d&d.
I know the Macbook battery life is because it's brand new, but it's still impressive to me that she rarely has to charge it.
Mmm; that's fair. The husband had an XPS 13 (not sure if that old, though; it was the one where you could get the cover in Rose Gold) but they only use Windows so I can't say. I've mostly installed Linux (for myself) on Latitudes.
Oh, for sure; it is definitely impressive. I dunno if you already know (so, basically, I apologize if so!) but part of how Apple's able to pull that off is they manufacturer their own hardware and only install to it; so OS X's optimized to the hardware in a way Windows and Linux can't be (since they're designed to run on any hardware). I'm sure that's not all of it but it's part of it.
I can get ~20hrs of battery life thanks to the fact that I can carry 4 expernal batteries for my laptop, I am using Debian w. Xfce. I also had the issue of it not properly suspending on closing the lid, this solved the issue for me.
Much appreciated. I'll give it another shot maybe tonight and throw some XFCE on here.
Man I have old laptop I love to install Linux on, but don't have jump drive that transfer the software on. How else can install it on my old HP laptop?
Just get a cheap USB stick and throw the Debian iso onto it. Guide on how to do it
Thanks will give it a try.
