I've been lucky with Thinkpads. Have you been using Thinkpads? I know what you mean, it hasn't all been roses. But in general I have no major gripes with my latest Thinkpad laptops. Lately it's been amazing actually, on a Thinkpad X1 Yoga 4th gen with Fedora 31 atm. I can't remember the last issue I had.

My 2013 thinkpad on Ubuntu 20 with newest drivers doesn't wake up 1 in 5 tries. It's frustrating, but at least now that I don't have to leave my house anymore, it doesn't matter too much!

  I have this issue with my T470. I'd love to use some Linux distribution, but not waking up brought me back to Windows. A temporary solution was just keeping it on, which used up about 13% of the battery per night, but that's not a long term solution.

    my T440, T470 and T495s all do the same thing. Nightmare. I use a mac mini most of the time now though.

The first wakeup issue I had was on a T495... but a software upgrade fixed it thankfully. Now another software upgrade broke my desktop's waking up which has been working fine for 4 years...

My Thinkpad is the only computer I've ever had hibernate issues with. At some point three or four years ago there was an article I saw where someone realized the way Linux handled memory layout during hibernate was way over complicated and they redid it much more simply. Ever since then I haven't had any issues with hibernate, either on my Thinkpad or my multiple Dell machines. I did have a fun regression recently where my ~10 year old desktop machine started randomly hanging and it seems to be a regression of some sort in the nouveau drivers since reverting to a previous kernel version fixed the issue.

I use a Lenovo X1 Gen 3 with Fedora 33, and have always had issues with lid close sleep/wake/hibernate. I needed to use this UPower workaround (https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/linux-laptop-low-battery-suspend.html https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/linux-laptop-low-battery-suspend...) to get it to work halfway decently, and it is still problematic.
