Hello. I just want to ask, I already tried search many resources, but I still can’t find a way to reduce battery drain while sleep on Ubuntu on Dell laptop.

I seen that it use S0ix, the new standard that many manufacturer use but when sleep it drains a lot battery, in just 6 hours the battery gone 0.

Any help is appreciated. This is company laptop and it requires me use ubuntu (I don’t like it but I don’t have options to changes OS/distro).

Thanks

    I remember that on new generations of Intel chips there is no support for S3 at the chipset level, which means that the operating system physically cannot enter the laptop into this mode. On Windows S0ix is ​​better optimized, that’s all. Linux has problems with this.

          Have it on work laptop… It wakes laptop for random things, if I put it in backpack I can find empty battery in the morning… Nope, s0ix does not work at all on windows anyway.

            It works quite well on Microsoft Surface Pro. I think a lot depends on the specific manufacturer/drivers. But overall, yes, S0ix is ​​much worse than S3.

              And it could be that corporate bloatware is breaking it. I know, and I wasted some time looking if it’s possible to use S3 state (nope, it’s not on hardware I got -,-)
