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.

(SOLVED) OpenSuse TW Not Suspending Properly on Gnome But Sleeps Properly on KDE (Follow Up) (lemm.ee)

I made a post yesterday about how I got a new laptop and it does not suspend properly and just goes to a black screen where my only option is to force shut it down by holding the power button.

After an entire day I still have not figured it out. But, I did narrow it down. TLP, drivers (it's all open source AMD), small swap partition, etc, are not the issue. After two reinstalls, I decided to install it with KDE just out of curiosity to see if it still has the problems and nope. Works just fine. Now I went ahead and installed Gnome on top of the KDE install and once again, if I try to suspend through Gnome, it fails to do so and gives me a black screen where nothing is responsive.

What could be the cause of this? I also tried running on Xorg and the problem still persisted. But I'm pretty sure by now that it is a Gnome problem and not a device problem.

If you want more context you can check out my previous post. Any inputs or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Turns out the official OpenSuse build of kernel 6.7.6-11 does not sit well with my laptop and instead downloading and using a community version of the kernel posted on software.opensuse.org ended up fixing the issue. Very odd.

What is your sleep setting in BIOS? I had some problems with Linux sleep that got fixed by switching to Windows sleep. Maybe try that?
