I noticed on the notes for your laptop that you have an Nvidia graphics card. I had an Nvidia on my last laptop and that experience convinced me never to get a card that requires a proprietary driver. I always had issues with compositing, resuming from sleep, and artifacts appearing on my desktop (especially text corruption in terminals).
