Does it actually work in a meaningful way on any hardware? In my testing, it still discharges the battery at about the same rate as leaving the OS up and turning the screen off, where Linux is about on par with Windows. But I might have a laptop the devs don't have access to, so I'm just left unsure where (if anywhere) it works as intended.

Yes, AFAIK it depends on the machine, on Intel at least there's debug output printed in the dmesg that should show if/how long it stays in different power states.

I think there is still work ongoing to improve battery life.

Seeing modern standby is pretty insane in such a short time; it was one of the most attended talks in the BSD talks at FOSDEM:

Also pretty impressive because Aymeric started as a GSoC contributor and is now sponsored to work on BSD by the foundation.

OpenBSD's had suspend-to-idle (S0i) aka "modern standby" since 7.6 (2024), at least on Intel. 7.8 will have better AMD support.

Making rent as an open source developer.

Attracting new monthly sponsors and people willing to buy me the occasional pizza with my really bad HTML skills.
