Had the same problem with mine. You need to change the sleep mode. You need to change sleep to mem_sleep_default=deep

I found it much more difficult. I had to move my swap partition into the LUKS partition so it was encrypted, resize it to be much bigger than the default then figure our how to have the RESUME=disk-uuid boot flag enabled for EFI boot. I got it working but it was quite time consuming.

This was the method I found but it didn’t work for me and I gave up.

Can you link to the public statement? Would greatly appreciate that, thanks!

Craig Federighi: > As for Windows running natively on the machine, "that's really up to Microsoft," he said. "We have the core technologies for them to do that, to run their ARM version of Windows, which in turn of course supports x86 user mode applications. But that's a decision Microsoft has to make, to bring to license that technology for users to run on these Macs. But the Macs are certainly very capable of it."…

It's a pretty disingenuous way to blame Microsoft. Afterall, there are two ways that Windows 10 on Mac M1 could have occurred: Microsoft could relax the licensing so that end users could buy/install Windows 10 onto the Mac M1, or Apple could approach Microsoft like any other OEMs and license/preinstall Windows 10.

We know the latter isn't going happen.

I can live without the fingerprint reader. It’s the lack of hibernate that really sucks. I got my 2013 MBA battery replaced. Leave it unplugged for 10 hours. 1% battery drop. XPS 17 on Pop OS LTS with kernel 5.8. I have to shut down if I want battery left.

We see that kind of issue frequently and in the majority of cases it is not a Linux fault, but manufacturer firmware. It is such a frequent issue I wrote an article 10 years ago that is still extremely relevant with simple instructions to enable a kernel work-around [0]. Specifically the problem is the ACPI DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table) - which is actually byte-code installed by the device manufactur…

Pop OS doesn’t use grub :(

This is very anecdotal but every single laptop I have bought in the last 10 years (4) worked perfectly out-of-the box with either Linux Mint or Ubuntu (which are the same on the inside). I only vaguely remember once I had to change some conf file for my trackpad to work after a dist update but that was it. Not sure why everyone in this thread is so hesitant about Linux on a laptop? It literally just works (tm) for me…

Sorry, this is not true :)

The Ubuntu bluetooth stack has been misconfigured for a long time, and it still is (specifically, the pulseaudio bluetooth module is misnamed; there is an open bug). I use an Ubuntu MATE, but I think this applies to the other Ubuntu distros as well.

It also had other misconfigurations in the past, and anyway, the bluetooth stack has always been poor quality (nowadays is much better though).

Even the Dell XPS, which is supposed to be perfectly compatible, has minor niggles (in other areas).

So, Ubuntu/Linux works acceptably... yes, but perfectly, definitely not.

That sounds out of date. Linux has reported itself as Windows via ACPI OSI and actually reports FALSE for "Linux" OSI query for well over a decade now.

Will this have an impact of tools that depend on linux like docker on mac? Maybe android emulation? If so, then I'm super excited for it. I'm using an m1 macbook air right now and it's the first compelling mac laptop for me since 2015. It's absolutely amazing. But for any workload that uses docker, my linux desktop is streets ahead.

Yep, you can now run Docker natively without a virtual machine.

Anecdotal I know, but I very recently got a macbook air after years of practically exclusively using Linux and the opinionated user interface drives me crazy.

Hm, maybe it's just Firefox that's a bad citizen here, like with the global shortcuts.

This is a kernel parameter, so just set it in whatever bootloader Pop OS uses..
