You have only yourself to blame then. You’ve chosen a distribution which expects users to learn how the system works and it’s on you to figure out how to suspend the system.
I think the laptop bios battery is dying
This is unlikely. If the battery was dying, you’d be loosing BIOS/UEFI settings including time. Once the computer starts up, the battery is unused.
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.

“I take full responsibility for my Arch install” is one of my favourite lines from a linux youtuber.
This quote has been yoinked. I need it on a shirt tbh.

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