That's a very wrong assumption. An obvious counter case is to use a laptop as a server.
It may be a counter case, but not a very _common_ case.
Possibly not common, but I've done it. And the whole concept of using a raspberry pi as a server is similar.
There is yet a RPI to show up with a lid, though.
But there's lots of X86 hardware with broken Firmware. I have a desktop here which shows a (reportedly connected!) LVDS display, even though the only connector is a VGA cable, leading GDM to output the login window on the LVDS display. And the users wondering why the screen does stay black after boot. I'd almost bet that you can find desktop motherboards which pretend to have a lid switch (and which is of course always closed).
And if there is a lid, you can change the behavior, as Claudio mentions. It's just a default.
Well, that's different from what Raymound wrote. We'll see. A sensible openSUSE default would then be to disable all suspend by systemd and let the desktop environments handle it. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
