Also suspend/hibernate/resume? Which brand/model can you recommend?

I have the ASUS Zephyrus G14 and it works great. All S-states are supported and function fine.

It's Zen3, however. I would assume the Framework 13 or 16 would function equally well and are Zen4-based.

That's great. What's the build quality, is it creaky/plasticky like the cheap ones in 2010's, or are they now making it rigid/sturdy like Thinkpads were? (Didn't buy laptop for a looong time.)

It's plastic, sure (it's a midrange laptop); but solid and definitely not creaky/bendy. The screen housing is the weakest part. Not weak per se, but not as solid as the body. I would recommend watching some video reviews of it and judging for yourself.

I can recommend you look at ubuntu certified laptops, they all are more likely to work with suspend/hibernate/resume https://ubuntu.com/certified/laptops

Also the notebooks tested at phoronix.com are a good indicator to work (Lenovo Z13 for example). In the case of AMD a lot of work with suspend/resume just recently (August 2023) got patched, so generally with a recent Kernel you should be fine these days. https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Linux-Fix-SR-Wakeups

yes suspend/resume, dont know about suspend to disk, not sure its done it, but i suspend/resume it ALL the time. its an ideapad flex 5. 14ALC05.

I simply installed debian, and everything works perfect
