Zorin OS needs to improve power settings for laptop users

Zorin OS needs to improve power settings for laptop users. I noticed when I close the laptop lid the laptop never hibernates or sleeps just turns off the screen which kills the battery faster. Zorin OS should default to sleep/hibernate when laptop lid is closed.

You can try to change this settings, go in terminal

sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf

change this settings and remove the '#'

HandleLidSwitch=hibernate
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=hibernate

reboot and test

If hibernation isn't enabled on your system, you can also use suspend here instead of hibernate.

I wish CPU types: AMD64 = x64 = x86-64 Intel/Amd (that Linux and Windows use) had better optimizations such as CPU type: ARM64 = AArch64 = ARMv8-A Apple M1 to M5 (that MacOS uses)

ARM is much more energy efficient than x86. The same work will take less power on a Mac than any PC, be it a laptop or desktop. The creation of the ARM chip and its hilarious to think the chip was capable of operating off input voltages via data lines to process instructions without any additional power. That thing must have been the most baffling and funny discovery when they were diagnosing it.

A Macbook's battery can last 5 to 10 times more than a PC.
