I have tried so many distributions, the Ubuntu and Arch and Zorin OS branches are the friendliest for me, but the problem with the standby mode upset me. By the way, I reinstalled Zorin several times, but the result is always the same.
Now I'm testing on Manjaro, I miss Zorin.
It’s possible it’s kernel related. Since your issue is gone on “manjaro”. Did you try the 6.9 kernel on zorin os ? If not it’s worth a try.
And how to do it?
In addition, I had an update on Manjaro and the problem returned... just grief and sorrow, so I don't want to use Windows
I seem to have solved the problem by completely removing Microsoft Edge and the standby mode seems to have returned to normal.
I will test it now, and if so, I will try to return to Zorin OS again, so far it is the friendliest distribution for me.
If after further testing you find you are happy with the result, then please mark your post above as Solution.
I still haven't solved the problem (I tried different distributions and got the same result all the time.
As a result, I put the zorin back on and turn off the laptop completely every time to save power, but I still haven't found a solution(
Windows 11 is working correctly at the same time.
20% for 1 hour is not really bad. What is the design capacity from your battery ?
How old is the notebook ? If you have it for 2-3 years then the 5 hours is not bad at all.
Last, if you have a dGPU make sure you change your mux switch to iGPU. If your notebook does not come with a mux switch then you need to make sure your iGPU is running for small tasks.
just throwing it in here , havent read through all posts ,just the last 2 , my laptop is like 15 yrs old and the battery lasts almost 2 hrs still. if i ever plug it out ...
so not to bad in my opinion
you misunderstood everything, if it works, then everything is as you wrote, but if you switch to standby mode, it still essentially discharges in the same way as if it were working, and not in standby mode. I left the laptop for a few days, switching to standby mode on Win 11 and everything is fine, I opened and work, if it doesn't work on linux, it will run out overnight, if not faster
Yes, the question is not about the laptop's autonomy during operation, the question is about the rapid discharge of the battery in standby mode.
Are you dual-booting? (I cant see if we asked you before).
If you do have Windows, disable Fast Start-Up in Windows Power Settings.
Fast loading is disabled even at the time of OS installation. But I don't really have a dual boot, since Win and Zorin are installed on different SSD and at the time of installation of each of the OS, the second disk was forcibly disabled, respectively, the choice of booting the OS is strictly through the bios, by prioritizing the boot of a specific SSD disk.
In general, I figured out this problem, there is no solution((( well, how to say, I need a hibernation mode in zorin, I honestly haven't figured out how to add it yet
If you disable hibernation mode in Windows 11, the problem is similar to that in linux and the laptop is running low, I Googled for a long time, this problem turned out to be quite common.
