macs are amazing, you can close the lid on a macbook and the computer will be mostly asleep and won't burn down the house; and the best part is it'll work when you open it again. amazing tech.

macOS though, that's getting worse each year.

I have the exact same lid behavior on my HP laptop running Arch Linux.

Trust me I’d happily take a similarly specced Linux-compatible laptop over this company-mandated MacBook, alas.

You do know the reason the Mac goes to sleep when you close the lid is because of the OS right?
