I mean, yes, of course - I'm just making (a little bit of) fun out of the fact that "laptop sleeping reliably" has traditionally been a benchmark for how complete Linux support is for that specific laptop.
But yes, I've had 4 Dell XPSes, all running windows, and all of them have had at least one episode of the laptop cooking itself inside a bag - I pull it out and it's literally burning to the touch, because some stupid event decided to wake it up, despite the lid being shut.

The good thing about Dell is that they ship with linux on certain configurations, so linux installs are very robust with the caveat that you will not see the agressive fan curves or higher tdp limits that you can get on windows.
