That’s where Linux burned all the bridges on being my main machine.

Nowadays, I cannot afford to take a day off to fix obscure incompatibilities like this.

The last straw to me was when I stored my closed lid xps in a bag and 3 hours later everything was smelling like burning plastic because the computer suspend suddenly stoped working. To get things worst, it happened during a long haul flight.

Suspend on my MacBook Pro also didn't work for >1 year, but seems to be magically fixed now. All OSes have annoying bugs in my experience.
I seem to recall Dell saying that you should never store a suspended laptop in a laptop bag, because there are situations where it might wake up and overheat.

Which is the stupidest thing ever. I want to see Apple use this to shame Dell in ad.
