I've been using Linux on laptops since at least 2007. This one has extra M.2 and SATA bays, so, after a SSD failed suddenly in the prior laptop, I can have a mirror in place. I installed 2X4TB (with the unused Windows boot device in place).

Sleep/Hibernation is supported if you are using systemd (at least) although Debian does not seem to know it. That is to say, sometimes you have to find the right settings, but everything is documented.

Do you have a specific recommendation for a machine?
