I've always assumed this is more a factor of installing linux "aftermarket" versus the manufacturer able to be careful about the bios+os interop, rather than anything with the OS itself. I imagine hackintoshes are similar.

AFAIK linux-only distributors like System76 don't have this problem.

Doesn't need to be linux-only, just well supported. My Dells and Thinkpads don't give be any trouble.

My XPS13 9360 or similar has given me a few issues over the years: Occasionally not sleeping, inability to wake WiFi-circuit from low-power mode, sometimes the touchpad would freak out - I think it would latch a multitouch state pressed down.

In my experience, hackintoshes sleep/wake much more quickly than Linux, even on the same hardware.
