>Did you read what I wrote above? "if you buy preinstalled"

And did you understand my point? Buying preinstalled isn't a cure-all, only ensures that the bundled hardware drivers are compatible and configured. That's a pretty low bar.

It doesn't cover doing stuff with third party devices (which on the Mac 99% of the time it works every time).

Not to mention even the bundled-hardware doesn't always work even if you buy pre-installed (like the laptop not sleeping properly for example).

I agree that this is not tolerable. However my devices from Purism have a reliable sleep and other functionality out of the box.

Check Linux compatibility before buying and they will work reliably. Works for me.
