For example, it would be nice to have my computer automatically go from suspend-to-ram to suspend-to-disk state after a while, if I was under battery power. It would also be nice to enable user switching on the lock screen.
Having gotten used to both of these features being present on my PowerBook, I find myself annoyed when I'd like to make use of them elsewhere. Apple's "suspend" implementation, though, essentially does a suspend-to-ram-and-write-to-disk-just-in-case. Not as optimal, as there are definitely times where I would much rather suspend to disk and be done with it (and not drain the battery overnight while it's in my bag), but it does the job, should the battery die while it's suspended.
In my recent experiences, though, Ubuntu seems to bring most of this functionality to Linux users without the Linux users having to actually think about it themselves. I haven't experimented with any other modern Linux distributions lately.
