Both the fact that the firmware feature isn't documented at all, and that even if it were, we wouldn't be able to use right now, because we don't know what applications to leave running or suspend when in that mode. This is another reason why we'll need Flatpak, and sandboxing so we can stop all the apps except small parts of the desktop, or control whether those apps can access the network, run background operations, etc. The kernel "freeze" suspend mode does, except that it suspends all the applications, on BayTrail/CherryTrail hardware (which don't have any actual suspend support). -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
