An exciting post-Christmas patch series out on the Linux kernel mailing list this morning is proposing a new runtime standby ABI that is similar in nature to the "Modern Standby" functionality found with Microsoft Windows.

Antheas Kapenekakis sent out the patch series today proposing this new runtime standby ABI for Linux. Antheas Kapenekakis is one of the developers heavily involved in the Linux gaming handheld space with working on the OneXPlayer driver, ASUS ROG Ally improvements, MSI handheld improvements, and more.

We don't need this crap on Linux. Sleep is meant to be a low power mode where everything except ram is powered down, and you can pick up near instant where you left off. Not this kind of "sleep" where about everything is running like before. A desktop/laptop isn't a mobile phone where this behavior is the standard.

Not every Linux device is a desktop or laptop.
Something similar was recently added to the Steam Deck to download updates before going properly to sleep.

Adding this doesnt mean removing sleep. Linux isnt only used for laptops and desktops.
