From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why not just set your laptop to automatically hibernate after it's been in a suspended state for x seconds? That way your system will fully power off after it's been suspended for a while, which would save even more battery compared to S3. With the speed of NVMe drives, resuming from hibernation only takes a couple of seconds on most modern systems.
I'm not familiar with gnome, is there any option on gnome for it? I never seen it.

How do you set that up? Please don't say it's a BIOS setting.
Nah, it's a systemd setting. You need to edit
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
and changeHandleLidSwitch=
toHandleLidSwitch=suspend-then-hibernate
, and the create or edit/etc/systemd/sleep.conf
to change the timeout value:With the above, the system will automatically hibernate after 15 minutes of sleep.
Note that if you're using a full-fledged DE or a third-party power profile manager, you may need to disable any lid-close actions in there (if it doesn't have the suspend-then-hibernate option) so that systemd can handle it properly.
