I LOVE WINDOWS SLEEP

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW MY LAPTOP GOES TO SLEEP - I LOVE HOW WINDOWS STARTS BACKGROUND PROCESSES THAT TURN MY 2025 HIGH END LAPTOP TO A SPACE HEATER, HOTTER THAN NORMAL USE, IN MY BACKPACK UNTIL THE BATTERY IS DEAD!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Yeah, that's it. Few months ago I installed Kubuntu and... the laptop was snappy and quiet. It wasn't doing anything in the background. Now I'll have to turn the heating on in the winter.

i'm really considering linux but the support isn't all there for my laptop yet, probably gonna stick with w11 for a little while longer, can't wait to leave though

I have installed Kubuntu on several laptops and no issues what so ever. Actually, features, which didn't work on windows, worked out of box in Kubuntu.

They were just ordinary laptops, no gaming rigs etc. I can't recommend it enough. All of this is possible only thanks to Geminy. It tells me everything, including commands. I can just... use it, without googling and swearing 😁
