The only reason I still buy and rely on first-party hardware is how well (and fast) the suspend/resume works. Never a single problem.

Completely opposite experience with Linux/*BSD though, across dozens of different hardware setups, almost all of them have had some kind of quirk/bug that made it unusable.

Have you ever considered using Linux laptops sold by companies focusing on Linux computers like system76, tuxedo, slimbook, starlabs and others?

  • Yes, but they are all way out of my price range. I have also read reviews and many posts online that show that even these Linux-focused companies cannot support 100% of their own hardware lineup with working drivers.

Consider a Chromebook. They are well supported,and therefore work well despite being Linux based.
