Seconded. I s2idle my ThinkPad Z13 (running Fedora Bazzite) multiple times a day, every day, and have zero issues. It sleeps well with very little drain (I actually leave it in this state overnight), resume is instant, and it works perfectly.

Get a system that's been designed with Linux in mind (and a sensible distro), and there should be no issues with sleep, @[email protected]

That's the point of this article and my comment though. Newer machines are having these options removed because of pressure from Microsoft. It's a crapshoot.
