I'm referring to machines which have things such as Libreboot and where
the manufacturer ensures that every functionality, such as waking from
sleep and touchscreen recognition, works as intended. Windows would work
fine, but it might end up functioning worse on that machine than Linux
would, much like how Linux doesn't work great on machines designed for
Windows.

 
Just buy Dell Latitude laptops and use Linux Mint. Waking from sleep and
touchscreen recognition is automatic with this combination.

I might actually consider that when it is time to switch this machine
for another. For now, it works right. If and when Windows becomes too
unbearable, I'll put Linux on it and try using it for a few years
longer. I'm in no hurry to switch machines, even for gaming purposes
because there is a ton of old stuff I haven't yet played available for
cheap on GOG. Those old games work great with my GPU and will continue
to work great in 2035.

As you know, I like to use "trailing edge" hardware. Of course I don't play
games, or I might feel differently.
