I couldnt use linux on my laptop 15 years ago because suspend never seemed to work. Just tried it again last week on my generic desktop, suspend still not working. So ya linux has come a long way. Still cant use it.
Just installed KDE neon on two HP laptops and I might be mistaken but I do think they're both asleep right now. I'll check back on that later but usually it's a bad hardware issue that can be rectified with some kernel parameters.
Wifi on resume is the bane of my existence. If I close my lid I just have my laptop restart. Mint.
An HP by any chance? These don't handle suspend well and you need to add a parameter or three at boot via grub (or systemd too). Otherwise the system gets tied up filling the log endlessly with rapidly cycling pcie errors and you end up crashing or frozen pretty quickly. If this might be your problem, see

Where there's a problem there's usually a solution, you just might need to root around the web for answers.
Thats a huge problem for linux, average users are never going to do that. But as a long time linux user myself I have been trying to find solution to the suspend problem for a long time and I still cant find one. So Id say its a big problem.
Linux programmers have been battling Microsoft and its shady deals with hardware vendors for decades. That's the real problem. Just when something starts working too well, MS changes things up, dictates changes to hardware, and then that breaks it for Linux, so it's back to the old IDE with new hardware to figure out how to get around it. Or the hardware folk just don't consider Linux a viable alternative and just happily make sure only Winders runs well.
As another Linux user with over 2 decades of Linux as my primary, it sounds like that might be a your laptop problem.
All the laptops Ive ever tried and all the desktops including my current one which is a very generic Ryzen 7? None of them have ever suspended reliably, thats for sure a linux problem. Without that feature, I cannot switch to it as my daily. Its relegated to server only for me sadly.
Suspend doesn't really work for my Thinkpad either. Computers were never really meant to 'suspend', I've learned it's just as fast to power down/up on Linux.
Well, whether computers were 'meant' to suspend is beside the point, windows made it work somehow but so far linux has not, and Id call it a required for most users. Without that feature working reliably, I can't personally make the switch even though I want to.
Implying suspend works on Windows either. I've got like a 50/50 chance my monitor connected with DisplayPort actually gets signal after waking on Windows. This shit has been a problem for a long time.
Ive been using windows 30 years and linux for 20, Ive never seen windows fail at suspending on any system in that time. Linux on the other hand Ive never seen it reliably suspend on any system. Dont get me wrong I want to use linux at home very badly, but none of the fixes I have looked into have solved the problem. Its a 100% required feature for me.
I had to implement a GPO to disable suspend on windows 10 AND 11 for everyone at my company equipped with HP zbook laptops because it was requiring a hard reset every... Single... Time.
No amount of bios upgrade ever fixed the issue.
With our HP laptops they would work perfectly so long as you only ever used them with one brand of dock. If you mixed dock brands without doing a full restart (like say having one brand at home, suspending, and then using another brand's dock at the office) Wi-Fi, suspend, and several other features would no longer work or work intermittently. We had HP and Targus working on it, even their engineers were puzzled.
Problem was non-existent on Linux...
