I'm surprised seeing improvements in Suspend/Hibernate support.

I've used OpenBSD on laptops before and it was _fine_. I thought they primarily target servers. This feels like laptop specific improvements. Perhaps to the benefits only to those developing OpenBSD.

Every computer I have ever owned has regularly failed miserably at suspended, or more accurately resuming.

Even my Steam Deck, with it's top down firmware and OS development regularly fails to suspend our freezes on resume.

Sounds like they only thing they've owned. But maybe I'm running the perfect windows and linux distros.. and my macs are out of spec.

Apple generally has excellent sleep support, even on my old falling-to-pieces unibody which would KP if you looked at it funny I don’t remember résume ever being a concern.

I’m not going to say their ever degrading software quality won’t affect that one day, and I know that some updates have caused issues for some people, but I genuinely can’t remember it ever failing me and not doing its job correctly.
