For a few months I have been struggling to get Linux S3 suspend-to-RAM working on a Lenovo Yoga 6 (not my own daily driver, but for a family member).

Two takeaways:
* only use the #Thinkpad line of #Lenovo laptops, but not the consumer ones
* new (e.g., AMD CPU) hardware is still a bit problematic with #Linux kernel and takes couple of months for driver support to settle

But I declare victory. The kernel version and distribution setup details might matter, but the real difference was *disabling* *AMD Platform Security Processor* in the BIOS. Why? I have no idea, but the laptop sleeps and wakes up now. I'll leave it there for the time being.

@rene_mobile I'm having similar struggles with a Dell that is closely related to one that is approved by Ubuntu. It shows how much device support is almost in place, it is low hanging fruit just waiting for a little integration work. With all the recent talk of it seems there should be some way to get govs to chip in to fund people to integrate and upstream this stuff so that there is real choice of hardware to run on.
