I actually like suspend to RAM. Makes my laptop usable after sleep a bit faster. But absolutely not on Windows because then my fans are still spinning after minutes like many have reported. But I was simply able to disable that with a registry tweak and it's now going to regular ACPI S3 when I close the lid. Is my Framework Laptop 13 (i5-1240P) an uncommon exception?
Yes. Laptop manufacturers are disable s3 sleep in firmware. Framework explicitly gives that freedom because they don't suck
Does suspend to ram drain battery?
Yes depending on the sleep state. Also some power is going to ram to keep it alive. I think for framework it's in the realm of 5% an hour or something like that.
I usually go the hibernation route.
Desktops I sleep to ram, laptops I hibernate to the SSD.
