I'm running an early 2015 Macbook Pro. I have OSX, Windows 7 & Linux
installed. I live in Linux, but on the rare occassions I need to boot
into OSX or Win 7 I simply s2disk. That way when I re-boot into linux it
just wakes up where it was rather than losing any context.

Aside from the non-functioning camera, the only other hardware issue I
routinely see is the USB SD reader mostly disappears off the bus after a
system sleep.
