I run a Mint laptop. Power management is a joke. Configured it as best as possible, walked in the other day and it was dead. Windows would never do this, unless you went out of your way to config power management to kill the battery.

Great bait, mate.

Windows literally configures itself to drain your battery while your laptop is closed by default. It's called hibernation/fast boot.

You need to go out of your way to configure power manager to not kill the battery.

Hibernation is suspend to disk. It's exactly the same power state as being shut down. The only difference is that on boot, it loads state from disk.

Hibernate is S4 which is very low power but not zero. Some devices like LAN, keyboard, and USB can remain powered so your battery will eventually drain.

My battery drains by a negligible amount while my Windows laptop is hibernating. The same laptop battery drains by 2% per hour while on sleep mode running Linux.
