From an ARS Technica story:
Linux 3.15, expected to be released in mid-2014, "will feature a large number of ACPI and power management updates" and allow Linux-based computers to suspend and resume faster, Phoronix reported today.
'Visible to users with the Linux 3.15 kernel should be reduced time for system suspend and resuming, thanks to the enabling of more asynchronous threads,' the article said, pointing to a list of changes posted by Rafael Wysocki, an Intel employee who maintains the Linux kernel's core power management code. Basic support for Nvidia's Maxwell architecture is also in the works for Linux 3.15.

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

Trisquel
For those who haven't memorized the names of every distro in existence, that is the one that the Free Software Foundation advocates.
The Trisquel developers make no concessions to brands/chipsets which have only proprietary device drivers available; if your driver is not Free Software (source code available), they won't include your stuff in their build.
If you go to BuyMore and want to determine how openness-friendly[1] a system is, run Trisquel from your plastic disc / thumbdrive and if everything Just Works(tm), you know that every manufacturer whose stuff was integrated is a supporter of software freedom.
[1] Another way to say that is "obsolescence-resistant".
