An exciting post-Christmas patch series out on the Linux kernel mailing list this morning is proposing a new runtime standby ABI that is similar in nature to the "Modern Standby" functionality found with Microsoft Windows.

Antheas Kapenekakis sent out the patch series today proposing this new runtime standby ABI for Linux. Antheas Kapenekakis is one of the developers heavily involved in the Linux gaming handheld space with working on the OneXPlayer driver, ASUS ROG Ally improvements, MSI handheld improvements, and more.

I had a series of issues with my old tower that kept waking up and it was very frustrating.

Just curious, did you do a powercfg /lastwake to see what woke it from suspend? For me I think it ended up being a scheduled task, something like Adobe updater, though I don’t remember exactly.

Yeah, that's the frustrating thing. I would run that immediately after watching it wake up and it would gaslight me saying nothing woke it up.

Very frustrating, I remember a similar experience, the command seemed to only show wakes caused by a device like mouse or wake on LAN.

If you still have the machine, check those scheduled tasks (like UpdateOrchestrator tasks) and uncheck "Wake the computer to run this task" in its Conditions tab, or globally disable Wake Timers in Power Options

Had this once, turned out to be some driver update software for a gaming mouse (at least something like that). Sucks for non-technical people that its quite hard to figure out for them without involving the 'family IT guy'

Tbf, these days windows is so obscure, it also sucks for technical people, sometimes it's practically impossible to find where to configure something even if you know it can be configured, even worse if you don't know for sure
