  >Did you read what I wrote above? "if you buy preinstalled" And did you understand my point? Buying preinstalled isn't a cure-all, only ensures that the bundled hardware drivers are compatible and configured. That's a pretty low bar. It doesn't cover doing stuff with third party devices (which on the Mac 99% of the time it works every time). Not to mention even the bundled-hardware doesn't always work even if you buy pre-installed (like the laptop not sleeping properly for example).

However my devices from Purism have a reliable sleep and other functionality out of the box. > third party devices Check Linux compatibility before buying and they will work reliably. Works for me.
