Btw, if my pc wakes up seconds after if try to manually via XfCE power menu, but sleeps fine by itself (20 minutes inactivity), what could that be?
Check the BIOS/firmware, there are different sleep states for Windows and Linux that can be configured. Some just refuse to sleep properly. I had a Dell laptop that would sleep and then wake up when I closed the lid and then stay awake.
