1. you’re likely describing hibernate not suspend suspend has different states and the most common one is suspend to ram which needs a low concurrent supply of power and that’s on all laptops the default - certainly on all thinkpads I own
2. check the systemd configuration file for your close lid actions such as suspend
3. hibernate means the machine is completely off and only works if you installed the OS in a specific way (please search how to install fedora to do this)
4. fedora is not superbly newbie friendly, maybe try ubuntu, linux mint or popos which usually work out of the box

100% agree. Participation in the election process is a must if you’re in a country that allows one to do so. I’ve not heard about this book, will have a look.

If you really dont like a company and its products you must vote with your wallet or usage in this case. Its that simple. The reason why people that dislike M$ still use vscode and/or windows is simply they actually dont care that much and mostly make noise. I vote with my wallet and have a full jetbrains subscription, I use most their IDE’s everyday and its been great. Anyone really depending on income through coding must acquire the best tools available if they are reasonably priced so be it.

There are different types of mattresses, most of it is personal preference, except for making sure they are all full body so that no house guests accumulate inside. I personally prefer mem foam mix with some other material that makes the mattress just soft enough. As mentioned by others the mattress will not magically fix everything but it can greatly help not to make it worse.
