@emaytch @mcc it stopped happening a few years ago so a driver or firmware update, for the touchpad or uEFI, seemed to fix it, that device is now running Fedora 40 Silverblue without any hardware issues, although I don't really trust suspend, it might be great but I dont rely on it, that's only ever worked for me reliably on MacOS.
I like trying things so it worksforme(tm) but the only Linux if recommended for someone non-technical is ChromeOS, maybe SteamDeck.
