Btw, if my pc wakes up seconds after if try to manually via XfCE power menu, but sleeps fine by itself (20 minutes inactivity), what could that be?

Can anyone explain how this is different from Power Nap on Macs? I’ve never heard anyone upset about that.
LTT had a great video on that. Basically Windows has a bug which sometimes prevents this sleep mode from working correctly and that nukes battery life. Microsoft has promised a fix, but apparently it's not resolved still. In theory it should work exactly the same as Power Nap. It sometimes does, but sometimes - not so much.
P.S. Power Nap used to be buggy as well, but Apple fixed it years ago.
Didn’t some tech youtubers talk about this a few months ago? I swear I remember seeing a video on this…
LTT did a big video with all the details.
