yes laptops may seem like they suspend and hibernate and resume properly on Linux. But they do not work reliably. Back in 2010, you could have laptop running hot inside your backpack just because it failed to suspend on lid close. Fast forwars to 2026, the lid close action works but for me, there are still small chances that it doesnt suspend properly or slow to suspend. I blame Intel and Micro$oft for the new standby mode.
As much as I hate Macs, those fucking money grabbers suspend 200% well. I dont care if you’re alert or drunk or 30,000 ft in the air, if you close on the lids on these laptops, they suspend quickly.

One of the main things I do miss about my MacBook.
