I've had zero problems with S3 wake/sleep on AMD ThinkPad with FreeBSD for years. And FreeBSD uses AMD drivers pulled from Linux. How is this still a problem on Linux?

I battled sleep issues on my laptop for months, and had very different results than most people with my model. I think the behavior is a total crapshoot from machine to machine.

In fact, it turned out that a BIOS update that happened in the middle of my issues broke sleep functionality for the whole machine for a few months, so that wasn't even my fault.

Ditto. My Thinkpad X1 and X390 both have reasonably reliable sleep/wake under Debian.
