Not sure what OS you’re running (my guess is Ubuntu). I’ve had no issues with wake from sleep when using Fedora, FYI. My biggest complaint is the Nautilus file browser’s address bar being mostly worthless, the Gnome terminal’s inability to move tabs into a new window, and the inability to use normal copy / paste in the terminal (Elementary OS gets this right, and I run their terminal on Fedora now... I may look into running their file browser, too...)

FYI, you can use ctrl+l to get the path bar as just plain text that you can edit.

It’s pop!os which is Ubuntu with gnome.
My laptop has an nvidia gpu and it works great. Even steam works will which was unexpected and made the machine more enjoyable although myself a little less productive on it.
I always mean to try fedora.
My experience as someone who uses Linux but isn’t great at it, is that it works well as a desktop os.
I’m lazy I willing to pay for simplicity so I bought a preinstalled Linux laptop. And it’s been chugging along fine. Everything Works (excepting wake forms sleep when I close the lid sometimes, it’s like gambling...but I manually suspend and that works)
I takes a little research to figure out which application are available (I’ve heard of none of these video editors..) but I haven’t had any issues. Libre office works great.
I even got unreal engine compiled and running. It’s pretty nice experience overall.
