I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 that is a few years old (7th gen), and I am running Fedora 38.5 with GNOME 44.5. The issue is that the system does not sleep properly. If I close the lid, nothing suspends properly, so if it is not on a charger or shut down it will die within several hours in my bag. Are there any distros that handle power management and suspend status on this hardware better than Fedora?

        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
check the systemd configuration file for your close lid actions such as suspend
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)
fedora is not superbly newbie friendly, maybe try ubuntu, linux mint or popos which usually work out of the box

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
