How do y'all deal with sleep states on modern laptops?

Most very recent laptops no longer support S3 sleep which used to be the default for a long time. On my old laptop it allowed me to just close the lid in the evening and open it again in the morning, and it would only loose a negligible amount of charge during that time....

dingdongitsabear, (edited )

my laptop is comparatively old (t480s, 8th gen) but had the same issues with battery drain on F38. I’ve switched to debian and the situation is way better, overnight drain percentage-wise is in the single digits range. still nowhere close to my old macbook, but workable.

edit: no it isn’t, tested F38 and D12 on separate partitions, both lose same amount; ~1 %/hr of standby (regardless of deep or s2idle setting), so 7-8% overnight.

edit 2: looking into making suspend-then-hibernate work, that should fix everything; sleep for 30 mins and hibernate afterwards.

dingdongitsabear,

not important for this use case. I’m referring to the fact that I can close it shut and leave it for a week. I open it and it’s ready to go and the battery has barely lost a percentage point. that’s 2010 tech and something completely unattainable to me 13 years later. I’ve moved on from macOS but can’t help being envious.

Installing LOS 20 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite that's Knox Locked

so I found a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Wifi, one of the few tablets that have official LOS support. the specs aren’t too bad either, 10" 2000x1200 screen, 4/64GB, 7000 mAh battery (remains to be seen in what condition); for $120 with some shitty cover/stand and dubious charger, one hell of a deal. only problem is, it can’t...

dingdongitsabear,

yep, mine is P610 with exynos, yours is snapdragon, faster, better graphics and lower power draw.

experience has taught me to always go a couple gens back when it comes to linux and android hardware.

anyhow, there’s a couple unofficial LOS 20 ports on xda for p613, check them out.

dingdongitsabear,

my experience exactly. while I was waiting for them to ring me up I tried looking around the settings and installed apps, holy cow was it slow. this is lightning fast as is and I haven’t yet gotten around to tweaking and optimizing. my battery looks good, but I’ll know for sure after a couple days.

dingdongitsabear,

good to know, will try one tomorrow

dingdongitsabear,

thank you kindly. I do not, maybe some day.

dingdongitsabear, (edited )

bought it anyway. writeup in a few.

edit: here it is.

dingdongitsabear,

I’m using macast and jellyfin-mpv-shim. I can send almost anything to my PC from my phone and have it played in full screen.

dingdongitsabear,

don’t know what this is in reference to, but if you’re using a raspberry it can run python, so both of those (macast, jellyfin-mpv-shim or plex-mpv-shim) can run on it.

dingdongitsabear,

yes, I understand, you installed LOS and turned the raspberry into an android box. but you can install a normal linux distribution on it and then you can run both of those tools. then, your phone or tablet becomes the primary browser and remote control. right now, your raspberry with remote is the browser - you use it to browse/play media and control it (play/pause/etc).

e.g. you scroll lemmy and see a video you like; instead of watching it on your phone, you share it to e.g. AllCast (maybe there’s a better app, that’s the one I’m using) and that one transmits the youtube url to macast and voila - full screen video that you can control from your phone. same thing with reddit videos and other popular video sites (macast uses yt-dl behind the scenes, so whatever site yt-dl supports works in macast as well), as well as media that’s locally on your phone.

same thing with jellyfin-mpv-shim - you connect your phone’s Jellyfin app with JMS (click cast, select, make it default). you browse your library on your phone, press play and automagically full screen video on your TV while you control playback from your phone - pause, skip, stop, switch subtitles, volume, etc.

the remote you’ve been using with android becomes superfluous - the raspberry becomes just a dumb sink that plays whatever you send it.

I imagine you can rig up some screensaver with rotating wallpapers and clock and weather and whatnot when it’s idle.

dingdongitsabear,

it’s a false dichotomy; the issue is not whether you do or don’t have something to hide, the issue is you choosing what you share and with whom.

the fact that I don’t blast the quality of this morning’s stool accross all my social media outlets doesn’t mean that I’m hiding it, it means that I choose not to share it.

that’s my decision and I don’t allow my hardware, software, service provider, government, or whoever-the-fuck to make it for me.

dingdongitsabear,

is there anything out there in the $200 range that can take lineageOS? only ones I’ve found were some ancient samsung 3GB models

dingdongitsabear,

it’s a lackluster experience which ever way you turn. plasma has a better touch experience and consistency but its keyboard (maliit was it?) is horrible. GNOME’s keyboard is better but still crap.

everything feels like a proof-of-concept, something that was shipped in this sorta-works state and left. if you’ve ever used an android tablet, this is a long, long way off.

GNOME terrorized us for a decade with those comically gigantic UI elements because it’s supposedly touch friendly but the moment you start touching them it feels like utter crap.

try running android x86 on it, I had some good experiences with bliss OS. old kernels there, so hardware support is hit n miss.

dingdongitsabear,

next stop, fydeOS. good luck!

dingdongitsabear,

I feel stupid but found no way to do it… how do I pass the playlist to newpipe/macast/etc? one by one?

dingdongitsabear,

crDroid (android 13), no Google anything, no microG, works fine. I have a 6 year old phone and this is the only way to run current software. ran lineageOS 18 before this, nuked it when charging was acting out; wasn’t its fault.

dingdongitsabear,

install App manager from f-droid. click block all trackers. done.

dingdongitsabear,

that’s one hell of an effort, thanks a bunch! will take me some time to try some of those things… the dock has a normal DP 1.2 connector, I’m using the same cable my desktop (RX 570) is using and has no issues getting 60 Hz. haven’t tried Dock USB Type-C - DP.

the dock has an integrated USB Type-C PD cable that I use for the laptop, so that’s not replaceable. charges fine, can take up to 65 W (it doesn’t use even a third of that).

I was guessing this has something to do with cables. sadly, I can’t afford to buy & try out different cables but I’ll do my best with this new info, much appreciated.

dingdongitsabear,

that exists in the current version, it asks to press back twice to exit
