      First thing to do on most linux distros, but especially mint, is turn off everything sleep-related forever.

          Sadly, MacOS is leading the pack with sleep working as expected. This is the most cursed timeline.

            I’ve never really had problems with it on windows either. I use it 95% of the time as I want to continue where I left off. This includes leaving huge videogames on like Witcher 3.

            EDIT: Now that I think about it, I don’t remember the last time I used shutdown function. It’s always sleep or sometimes restart after installing something

            If I had to guess it’s because Apple controls both hard- and software. Sleep is a delicate business where both the OS and the hardware have to work together to get it right. Linux and Windows run on an endless combination of different hardware components whereas Apple knows exactly on what hardware their OS will run.

            And in true macOS fashion it only works if you stay within the Apple ecosystem.

            Applications and sleep are intimately tied to native macOS workspaces, which are themselves cursed af.

            If you use an alternative manager, like Aerospace (which reimplemented workspace/tiling), then applications cannot sleep properly, leading to severe battery drain.

          Feren OS on a ThinkPad L390 sleeps and wakes perfectly. Probably because of thinkpad

        Ha! It’s the one issue that’s been giving me the biggest headache through multiple distros. To be fair I believe most of my problems originate from Nvidia hardware and software.

        God yes, it was fucking with my partners graphics drivers, and killed most games I have running.

      I’ve been having this exact same problem. I don’t have a fix, but hey, comradery.
