Linux' crappy suspend support is a common reason people give me for not wanting Linux anywhere near their laptops. I have a single boot laptop that's somewhat of a mobile debugging station that needs Linux and I absolutely hate it. Right now my laptop takes far too long to boot and even if it didn't I wish I could suspend. I'm actually a huge Linux fan.. I use it exclusively on my server and on my PC but if I get another laptop I will probably run something else on it. Linux is just too annoying for that use.
