Interestingly sleep/wake is something I've found to work almost always just fine out of the box in Linux, including on machines Windows has sleeping issues! It used to be quite bad but things has improved heaps over the last 10 or so years -- however I've also stuck with Lenovo laptops which does generally seem to have better support in Linux.

I agree, I have a Thinkpad with Intel processor + nvidia GPU purchased in 2023 and I have not had sleep issues. Ubuntu 22.04.

The nearest thing to a sleep issue is that the screen is visible for a fraction of a second on some wakeups before the lock screen covers it. A bit of a privacy issue.

Good to see that AMD might be getting better support, in part because of its growing popularity.

Indeed, whatever Lenovo has seems mostly good. Not perfect, but does the right thing 19 out of 20 times, maybe more. Unfortunately that one time it doesn't work and roasts in my backpack it's a catastrophe :-(
