This. I have two T480 laptops that run Linux extremely well, but I have no intention of upgrading until Intel/Microsoft sort out their bullshit "modern standby" issues. Just let me fucking suspend.

Do contemporary/current-gen AMD laptops do "modern standby" or "traditional standby"?

My Ryzen 4000 laptop (Tong Fang PF5NU1G) had regular S3 suspend that worked reliably, but sadly it seems many Ryzen 5000+ models seem to have it stripped out (these can sometimes be added back in by loading patched ACPI tables [1]).

Oh, and for a bunch of Ryzen 6000 laptops it's been even more dire since they've also had s2idle issues that have only just gotten patched [2].

I don't know about the very latest generation or about other OEMs, but my work laptop is a previous-generation (Ryzen 5xxx) AMD-equipped ThinkPad. It did "modern standby" by default but that can be flipped to S3 sleep in the BIOS settings.
