As a Linux user I'm shocked stuff has been like this. My first laptop was a Fujtisu p1120 in 2004 & every laptop I've had has slept fine. Various Dell, Msi, Apple, Samsung laptops, all running Linux just fine, all sleeping ok.
Worst situation I had was the last personal laptop, a Haswell-era Dell. The wifi would only come back on every-other sleep, so I'd put it to sleep, wake it, and put it to sleep again, which took all of like 3 seconds. For a bit I was carrying around a swank Alfa USB-WiFi adapter as a workaround, which had the benefit of also providing superb wifi performance, but I figured out the every-other-sleep pattern after a bunch of months & that was that. All in all such a minor caveat, such a small nit amid so much working great across such a long span of time & systems.
I once accidentally hibernated a machine & was shocked it just worked in Linux. It means shutdown & turn on are closer to 10s, but my god, zero battery drain is divine. The thought of a laptop that can't stay off for a month is absurd. My personal laptop has 3/4 a year of "uptime" on it. It should be like this.
