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.

I feel this. Initially I just closed the lid on my work laptop, but I kept waking up to my work monitor just sitting there shining in the middle of the night, because despite having put it in hibernate, it decides to spontaneously wake up and sit at the login screen. Couldn't ever fix that, so now I unplug it when I quit my workday.
