From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Noone told me about systemctl suspend. I had to accidently learn about it from the arch pages. My battery is happy now, and you all will never be forgiven for your silence. That is all. (wiki.archlinux.org)

Yes, that's why I chose the distro I chose, and why this was not a serious post were I was actually upset, I enjoy learning and reading, I just wanted to make a post about suspend bc it has made me happy. I am also aware the bios battery does nothing once it's booted, once it's booted the performance is the same as it has always been. So I assumed the cmos battery is dying, but not dead enough to lose settings yet.

The CMOS battery does nothing from the moment computer is turned on. If you’re saying booting takes longer, that’s not battery’s fault.

That’s not how CMOS battery work. It’s even good enough or you’re loosing the clock.

The CMOS battery only maintains the data in the bios’ volatile memory and runs the RTC when the system has no power, it is completely out of the picture when data is being read from said volatile memory.
