> Check if your hardware supports your OS before you buy it. Guess what? Then it all works great. Not even then. I have a Ubuntu laptop direct from Dell (who has been selling Ubuntu laptops for 14 years), and every time I go to open it the battery is dead. So it's plugged in constantly. My cats love to sit on the closed lid because of how warm it is. Ostensibly it's asleep, but to the touch I can tell that it's running hot, and that's why it's dead within a few hours of being off the charger, even if it's not "on". I mean, it runs hotter sitting there idle and off than my new Surface does when it's on and compiling my Rust code. That's sad! This is a laptop direct from a hardware manufacturer who supports Linux. This kind of thing was a problem when hibernation first became a thing. Okay, understandable. But 2+ decades later, in 2021, I can't purchase a Ubuntu laptop directly from a manufacturer that has this figured out. That's a problem for Linux. It's one thing to fall short. It's another to fall short for 2 decades.
