Absolutely. That’s why race to idle is a thing. As soon as the CPU is fed cycles it races to complete the task as quickly as possible. When the program first launches and starts monitoring the only thing it knows is that it was just doing something. It hasn’t had a change to not do something. It’s now completed its race and now it’s able to relax for a second and idle.

It’s literally just the company saying they have (will have?) this product soon™️, and someone reporting that. What exactly are you looking for beyond that?

This is a classic case of a Linux user speaking out of their ass about windows. If you’re in the EU it should not come back.

The battery in the phone won’t be too happy with the heat either.

Why would you? Sleep uses so little power and the resume is instant.

If it wasn’t for S0 standby being such a piece of shit I’d never shutdown my computer unless it was for an update or hardware maintenance.

The worst laptop you can find could probably be better than even a reasonably specced VPS. Low end VPS are dire, and you can get some pretty decent laptops for almost nothing. If it’s pre 8th Gen. Intel they’re basically worthless on the used market. But they’ll still easily get the job done.
