I'm always amazed by the tales of people who seemingly use sleep mode on the laptops without issues. In my experience every time I try this trick the laptop wakes up on its own in my backpack and turns into a heatbomb. This reliably reproduces on all half a dozen laptops I've used over past decade or more. So I was kinda trained to always turning off laptops for transporting.

Is sleep really fixed and finally can be used on Windows? Do you tweak power settings or configs for that in any way?

There are laptops that are sold with Linux preinstalled as an option. They do support sleep correctly.

In particular, sleep worked for me on T series Thinkpads: T420, T450, T490, my current T14.
