Sleep is one of those things that have always just worked for me, at least on Linux; in Windows, I've had to deal with random wakeups after some kind of Windows update. That said, with less than 30 seconds from off to IDE I don't tend to use sleep all that often.

Assuming this is a real question and not just an excellent ruse; the answer, in terms of simplest setup would be

1) Install a vanilla default, such as Ubuntu 2) If that fails, buy a vanilla default laptop

To be fair a reason why this is easier on MacOS is they have like 3 laptop options rather than 3000. If your problem still persists, then there is a step 3

3) Become an expert in cli foo

After that fix, you're welcome to either pretend the cli foo was incredibly easy all along, or weep and dream of a gui with two glowing buttons [Cancel] [OK], providing all the configurability you might ever need

I was using Mac for development due to company policy (compliance). It is by far the worst development experience I have ever had. Brew is terrible. Updates are agonizing. The user interface is awful. Containers are a shitshow.
