> A proper Thinkpad does not have issues with hibernation, or losing battery, or graphics, or any of the other things you mentioned.

Not sure if my E495 would qualify as a "proper thinkpad", although I've read about the same issues on T series laptops, I've almost never managed to make my laptop sleep in the 3 years I've owned this laptop starting from kernel version 5.4.x to the present 5.19.x. Whenever I try to 'systemctl suspend', one of the following things happens

- the laptop sleeps for a few seconds and wakes up

- the laptop sleeps for a few seconds and wakes up completely frozen and I have to perform a hard reboot

- the laptop doesn't sleep and freezes and I have to perform a hard reboot

- the laptop sleeps successfully but when I wake it up, the screen is messed up with green colors all over the place, hard reboot needed

My laptop also kept freezing randomly from 5.4.x to 5.14.x.
