Though in some cases linux may work well with "modern standby". It still isn't as good as s3. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yum13241@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Apparently S3 is "less secure" according to FWUPD.

The attack involves physical access cold boot attacks and messing with the ram. At that point threatening me with a $5 wrench may be more effective.
