> That’s on me for using NVIDIA though, I’m sure it’s much smoother with Intel and AMD hardware.

Yeah, I can confirm that AMD on Linux just fucking works and has for ages. I've not used any recent Intel 3D accelerator cards, but if their new stuff is as solid as their stuff from like twenty years ago, then it'll also just fucking work.

I've had the complete opposite experience. It's only now that I'm using Nvidia that Linux works for me... I hate to admit it, I'm an AMD fanboy.

Weird. I've been using AMD hardware on Linux for the past ~twenty years... since back when they were ATi. Aside from when one had to write one's own Xorg.conf [0], everything has just worked.

Having said that, all of my laptops have used Intel graphics hardware, so perhaps none of my ATi- or AMD-video-card-bearing systems properly suspended to RAM or hibernated? I wouldn't know because that's not something I do with my desktops or servers.

[0] Or whatever XFree86 called that config file
