My laptop is an ASUS Tufbook.  I needed something rugged for

They stole Panasonic's name? I had a client say 'We use Panasonic

had to go back for clarification on exactly what they had.

Any problems with Nvidia?  TUF is far enough away from Toughbook to not
trigger the lawyers.

 
I've heard there can be problem with suspend and NVIDIA, but I don't use
suspend.  (It boots so fast that I just shut the thing off when not
using it.)

I've had problems with suspend and Linux. When I first got the Acer laptop
I was ready to ship it back before I figured out having an open WSL
instance when Windows 11 suspended would cause a reboot sooner or later.

A sway session on the Lenovo sometimes gets lost in the ozone. KDE seems
better behaved.  i3 on the old Acer is okay. Probably shutting it down
would be best but I'm used to leaving machines, including laptops on AC
power, up 24/7.
