Hello. I just want to ask, I already tried search many resources, but I still can’t find a way to reduce battery drain while sleep on Ubuntu on Dell laptop.

I seen that it use S0ix, the new standard that many manufacturer use but when sleep it drains a lot battery, in just 6 hours the battery gone 0.

Any help is appreciated. This is company laptop and it requires me use ubuntu (I don’t like it but I don’t have options to changes OS/distro).

Thanks

        Have it on work laptop… It wakes laptop for random things, if I put it in backpack I can find empty battery in the morning… Nope, s0ix does not work at all on windows anyway.

          It works quite well on Microsoft Surface Pro. I think a lot depends on the specific manufacturer/drivers. But overall, yes, S0ix is ​​much worse than S3.

            And it could be that corporate bloatware is breaking it. I know, and I wasted some time looking if it’s possible to use S3 state (nope, it’s not on hardware I got -,-)
