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....

Toyful,

is there some secret to getting more power saving sleep on modern machines?

The smartass answer is simply just “turn it off”

With SSDs, boot times are negligible now and I don’t see any need to sleep/suspend

Toyful,

Fair enough

I haven’t had any luck with sleep/hibernation for a while as it usually leads to my WiFi not working when I wake it up and requires a restart to fix it anyways.
