I bought a 2017 MacBook Pro on ebay and it hates to sleep. 😄 Or maybe it hates waking after sleep. I either can’t login or it freezes, or it waits a couple minutes then freezes. I haven’t had this many issues since first trying out Ubuntu 16 years ago.

I’ve never had a problem with wake from sleep on Mac in years. I’ve never even heard of anyone else having a problem. Is this widespread?
Nope. No problem on either my 2015 Air or my 2017 iMac.
From my experience, Windows usually have the sleep issue. I have built a PC 5 years ago and it would randomly wakes up for no reason. I have turned off USB and LAN wake.
I still couldn’t figure out what the issue is til this day. I just accepted that’s just how he is.
Probably not widespread, but when I search for solutions there are lots of posts in different forums. Lots of posts but no solutions. 😭
Only problem I have is MacOS forgets my monitor layout after waking up. I run two monitors into my MacBook pro and frequently my arrangement gets forgotten and my 75hz monitor gets locked to 30 until I unhook it and hook it back in again. I ended up setting sleep timer to be much longer so I don’t have to mess with this all the time.
Are you sure the hard drive is ok?
a damaged storage disk can mean suspension faliure? maybe that’s why my desktop isn’t sleeping properly sometimes and the ssd throwing weird errors
It’s possible. Drive failures can have very strange side effects that seem almost random and are difficult to diagnose. If your SSD is throwing errors then I’d be suspicious of it, not just your storage disk (I’m assuming we’re taking about two different drives here).
I haven’t checked yet! Thanks for the idea.
I’m using an early 2015 MacBook Air to type this.
No problems at all except I need to replace the battery.
Good luck, at least it’s not a new one but they are though to repair for years now! Btw isn’t one with a Butterfly keyboard?
Not sure. I have never really liked any keyboard on a notebook, so I don’t really care. It will suck regardless as a typing experience. I much prefer loud, chunky mechanical keyboards like on the Apple IIs and Commodore 64 I grew up with.
Usually waking from sleep issues in macOS are network related… if you have network fileshares mounted, it tries to re-mount those as part of the waking process to properly re-create the environment that existed before sleep. Sometimes this can take a while, or fail completely if the original shares aren’t available.
There is definitely something wrong with your computer. I have an old Macbook Pro that I bought in 2014 and I have never had a problem with it waking up from sleep.
Unfortunately I agree.
Your MacBook wants the latest Ubuntu.
Haha, yep! I installed Fedora but borked it. May try Mint or Fedora again.

Want your computer to remember which monitor had which window on it? MacOS says ‘Why not go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself instead?’
Unfortunately there are still at least some Intel CPU’s that don’t wake from sleep on Ubuntu.
And of course my work laptop just happens to have one of those
The PowerPC laptops felt absolutely bulletproof in this way — you could yank out a bunch of USB / Firewire cables and slam the lid shut and you just KNEW it would wake up fine every time.
It hasn’t really felt that way to me since the Intel transition. Now that we’re back on Apple silicon…we shall see. I haven’t got one yet.
I just installed the latest lts Ubuntu on a late 2011 MacBook pro. Everything works. The only thing I’m having issues with is the touchpad (required some customisation in KDE)
You need to add another one with my laptop. Forcing s3 sleep on some laptops half ass works. Modern standby sucks. I just have it set to hibernate when I close the lid. It boots up basically instantly
Apple Mac: it juuuuuust works.
