At this point I've spent dozens of hours trying to fix sleep/hibernate on this laptop without success, it's a dell xps 9500, doesn't feel like it should be considered super obscure hardware.

Not to mention the occasional bluetooth issues.

I appreciate it's the manufacturer's fault but it's still a problem.

Dell seems to have issues with sleep/hibernate in general. There was a recent article about how they don't recommend putting a new sleeping laptop in a bag because of modern standby not actually sleeping the laptop.

I think their exact words were "If you put your Dell laptop in standby, and then put in a bag, a) it might die b) that voids the warranty".

Is this a manufacturer's fault if you have problems with your Windows on a MacBook? No, it's your fault to use hardware in unintended ways. Same here: get a device designed for Linux.
