Since I assume some Framework product people are in here— my framework won’t go to sleep which is an absolute dealbreaker. Dead battery every time unless I fully shut it down. Forums are no help. Advice?

I’d love to support your mission and recommend this laptop to others, but you need to get the fundamentals working!

See my comment history for other similar reports from other (former) Framework owners.

You might need to set your system to hibernate instead of sleep. Modern x86 laptops lack proper standby power states — they only have a low power "darkwake" state in which they're able to do things like periodically check email, and instantly "wake up" from. Microsoft bills this as "modern standby".

That's nice in concept, but it rarely if ever works as it's supposed to, especially under Linux. I had to set my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano up so after being closed while unplugged for an hour or so it automatically hibernates, because otherwise it'll never properly sleep and Windows will drain its battery.

It's stupid but the only machines that reliably sleep these days are MacBooks.
