Not against #Fedora, #Linux, or even @UniversalBlue at all, but I don't recommend using Linux on laptops at all.

On desktops? Yeah, it works great. On Laptop, however, I've never got someone who said that his laptops works flawlessly. There is always a catch: webcams, ports, trackpad, speakers, suspend/hibernation.

I'll always recommend a #MacBook instead, over any Linux laptop that is not 100% certified to work.

I've got a us$600 14in Lenovo Yoga 7 with an AMD cpu/igpu that I've been running #fedora #linux on since I bought it. It does all of the things you suggest you need, including suspend. I've never tried to hibernate.

I had a Yoga 6 prior to that. Same experience.

@jrredho @darkghosthunter @UniversalBlue Framework 13 AMD literally everything just works.

I tend to see this take from folks that tend to run less mainstream distros or distros with real slow conservative update schedules.

Avoid Nvidia, pick a modern distro with a reasonably quick update cadance, have a good time.

@jrredho @darkghosthunter @UniversalBlue hybernation is even more supported that that, because instead of reying on not well documented hardware, it relies on well supported hardware (disk and power odf).

I think it's safe to say that there are many, many laptops that run #linux just fine.

However, if one were being prudent, it does make sense to check resources such as https://linux-hardware.org/ prior to buying yours. I've never done that. :)
