modern standby parity

About this tag
The modern standby parity tag covers discussions about achieving feature equivalence with Microsoft Windows' Modern Standby state on other platforms, particularly Linux. Recent content focuses on a proposed Linux kernel ABI that mirrors Modern Standby behavior, allowing systems to appear asleep while keeping the kernel and selected services active. This involves ACPI _DSM notifications, a userspace interface at /sys/power/standby, and a transition choreography from screen-off to sleep to DRIPS without full kernel suspension. The tag is relevant for developers, system integrators, and IT professionals interested in power management, firmware interfaces, and cross-platform standby behavior.

  1. Linux Runtime Standby ABI: Parity with Modern Standby

    A new patch series proposes a runtime standby ABI for Linux that mirrors the behavior of Microsoft Windows’ “Modern Standby,” allowing userspace to trigger firmware notifications that make a system look asleep (display off, status LEDs, etc. while the kernel and selected services remain active...
