Pick any model on this list that has all green boxes. There is no step 2.

- sshine 2y agoSleep works perfectly on my Lenovos, and it fails miserably on my custom gamer laptop. Supporting arbitrary hardware is hard for an open-source project. Sticking to solid brands with well-tested models has other benefits.

Also, I would argue that expecting any OS to work on every machine anyone anywhere owns is a touch unreasonable; none of the other options (Windows, macOS, Android, ChromeOS) are held to that standard.
