Intel or AMD? Intel removed S3 support from the platform entirely, and S0ix support was spotty until recent kernels/distros. Lenovo royally screwed up the AMD firmware, so kernel 5.18 includes a hack to force-suspend the NVMe subsystem regardless of what their broken ACPI handler wants to do.

Hibernation with secure boot is actually disabled because of "kernel lockdown", which most distros leave enabled. I feel like the security people push these patches through and dismiss user needs by waving the "hibernation is impossible to secure and standby is good enough" flag, and we have to live with a broken feature set compared to Windows. It's not a great attitude to have, from the user standpoint anyway.

Intel and S0ix is still spotty, in that out of the box it doesn't work. To make suspend work I need to enable s3 support in the bios. even then it gets me about 4 days, rather than the weeks I expect a modern laptop to last

Which as I can't practically turn it off (the linux laptop is owned by $work) is a massive pain.

Meanwhile the 2014 retina has a standby time of >3 weeks, and if the battery gets too low, it goes into hibernation.

which leads me to my original statement; "the fuck it does"

(I should point out that I've been using linux since the late 90s, and whilst I use it everyday, I still don't really think its good on laptops. Its better, but not good.)
