Crappy drivers. Is there a chance you've been using some device that fails to suspend? Are you using NVidia or other proprietary drivers?
My suggestion is that you run Linux on laptops that everybody else buys. These days the famous ones are Dell XPS and Lenovo Thinkpad.
Also, please make sure you report your issues. Regressions on S3 are often common. Unfortunately developers lack properly testing S3, because it's difficult to test.
Oh, and forget Hibernation (S4). It's crap and it's just never going to work fine. It's not even worth it since the machines boot fast.
- bamboozled 6y agoI actually run a year old model Lenovo ThinkPad and the latest stable kernel. I mean it's mostly good at hibernating, but it's just not solid like other systems I've used. You're right in saying that it's better on these systems with later kernels, I do remember a time when I was younger and buying the wrong laptop without suspend support though :)
