    Yes, that’s why I chose the distro I chose, and why this was not a serious post were I was actually upset, I enjoy learning and reading, I just wanted to make a post about suspend bc it has made me happy. I am also aware the bios battery does nothing once it’s booted, once it’s booted the performance is the same as it has always been. So I assumed the cmos battery is dying, but not dead enough to lose settings yet.

      The CMOS battery only maintains the data in the bios’ volatile memory and runs the RTC when the system has no power, it is completely out of the picture when data is being read from said volatile memory.

      The CMOS battery does nothing from the moment computer is turned on. If you’re saying booting takes longer, that’s not battery’s fault.

      So I assumed the cmos battery is dying, but not dead enough to lose settings yet.

      That’s not how CMOS battery work. It’s even good enough or you’re loosing the clock.
