I am currently back to running EndeavourOS after PopOS had severe issue running.
Hibernate/sleep out of the box seems to function just fine on my desktop. I’m running a Ryzen 3600, Nvidia RTX 2060, 32GB ddr4 21xx.
It is setup to lock itself after about ten minutes. Then if no activity for an hour will go into sleep/hibernate. Mouse will not wake it but keyboard works fine and I’m back to login within 10s or so.
With mine (an Acer Aspire A515 I got for free from where my mom works) I get around 3 hours (according to the time remaining, although in longer use sessions at my desk I usually plug it in every hour or 2, and unplug it when its full), which is about the same as Windows thinks it is. So i would say it gets around the same battery life whether I use Windows or Linux
Using a Matebook running NixOS as my daily driver. Battery life is pleasingly good, lasting up to 9 hours. This without tinkering with battery settings at all.
You’re probably just missing the corresponding firmware package.
lspci -v should show you which hardware chips your system has. Then just search the packages for any firmware packages that contain that chip’s name. E.g. realtek.
Does this improve performance with nouveau then? Last time I tried nouveau it was leagues slower than integrated graphics, let alone the proprietary drivers
Have been using NixOS as my sole os for a month or so and have zero complaints
It will quite frequently make installing and configuring things that could otherwise be a nightmare on other distros absolutely effortless (to switch DE you change one line of code, for instance)
On occasion however it makes things harder than other distros because you can’t really apply stack overflow questions, differentiation etc for other distros to it as well
Generally speaking 90% of what I’ve wanted to do with it has had a built in option or package that was a one or two line change to a file and a command to rebuild
Also, as long as you install steam via the built in option gaming works perfectly on it for me
