Yeah, had a brain fart. It's a freeze.

Did you nuke your Tuxedo OS install?

No, I'm still running it. Other than Sleep, everything else works mostly fine. Just the regular "linuxiness" here and there that's either easy to sort out, or easy to ignore.

What problems exactly did you have with Kubuntu?

Wow, that's a whole list... :D

On my laptop, I had zero touchpad gestures. Once I switched from X11 to Wayland I managed to get Firefox to handle pinch-to-zoom and forward/back, but nothing else and in no other application.

Bluetooth drivers were crap, made my $300 headphones sound like $10 headphones.

I accidentally set the wrong keyboard language during installation, changed it without any issues after signing in... But to this day that previous layout pops up on the login screen. The only advice I found online required quite heavy Terminal "hacking"... and didn't work anyway.

Updates are all over the place. They're coming in constantly, practically every day, often requiring a reboot. It also doesn't install any updates on its own, so even if there are smaller, security updates that don't require a reboot, you have to manually click through the notification and apply them. There was supposed to be another "hack" that makes it apply updates automatically, but it doesn't work.

I recently connected my Linux laptop to an external screen. All good, but... The login screen was displayed on both monitors. I clicked the login field on the external screen, started typing and nothing happened. Fiddled with that for a bit before, just out of curiosity, trying again, but this time fully on the laptop screen. Worked like a charm, zero issues.

That was the laptop. Then on my PC, I suddenly realised that I have not application menu (the one with "File", "View", "Edit", etc.). Just gone. Wasn't able to restore it.

Also, my secondary SSD would not stay mounted. Any time I rebooted, it was just gone - and that was a problem for me because I had my Steam library there and wanted to have Steam auto-starting on logon. That I was able to fix by editing fstab, but was still super annoying.

The move to Tuxedo OS was very smooth. Almost everything worked out of the box (still had to do the fstab bit), the Bluetoot driver is MUCH better, updates are more controlled. It's just this bloody Sleep feature that doesn't work. :D

What else do you need? CPU+GPU is there. MoBo? It's an MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI ATX AM5.

Windows worked flawlessly.

Kubuntu had massive issues with other things, but I didn't test Sleep (due to those other issues I only had it for a day or two).

Would this part potentially get in the way of the method you suggested?

One fairly recent thread had a proposed solution of adding "mem_sleep_default=deep" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.

Should I remove that?

I moved to Tuxedo from Kubuntu after having MASSIVE problems there, but I honestly can't remember if I was using the Sleep feature.

[–] Alaknar@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is “sleep” hibernate or suspend?

How can I tell the difference? The button says "Sleep". I don't see anything like "Power Settings" in System Settings.

Also, is this triggered by manually putting to sleep or by for example closing a laptop lid?

It's a PC, not a laptop. I click the "Sleep" button in the Application Launcher.

Just tried it now. Does it need a reboot first? As in: should I try again?

Sorry, mate, I'm a Linux noob.

I have no clue where to find the logs for this.

No idea what a VT is.

Don't know how to boot into single user mode....

Sorry, forgot to mention hardware in the OP. I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and no dedicated GPU (yet).

Sorry, forgot to mention hardware! Added in an edit now!

I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and no dedicated GPU (yet).

I ran sudo update-grub after making the changes. That and rebooting a bunch of times since.

I’m talking basic aim and safety training.

Again: how do you imagine someone who did "basic aim and safety training" going against five gun-nuts?

Barely. Most are lard buckets

Show me the lard bucket on the video.

And even that's beside's the point. A lard bucket can still shoot a weapon, and if there's five lard buckets, a student, teacher or roofer just has zero chances. Shit, a SEAL wouldn't have a chance in a situation from the video.
