    My desktop running CachyOS absolutely refuses to wake from sleep. It’s literally the only problem I’ve experienced over the past ~6 months or so of using Linux - I just haven’t had the time to diagnose and fix.

    Still better than my work-issued Windows 11 laptop though!

      Strange. What can even cause that? My very new desktop PC and very old work laptop both running Arch wake from suspend just fine. 🤔

        To be fair, when I was running Win10 on that same machine, it developed a bug where the sound would garble and the clock would start falling behind when waking from sleep.

        I couldn’t find a fix online then, but the closest suggestion was possibly a dead CMOS battery which I replaced at the same time I installed a new NVME SSD for my Linux install.

        My set-up (at least in terms of USB devices) is quite complex (3-port USB switcher, 4K webcam, DAC, and an 7-port USB hub for keyboard, mouse, numpad, stream deck, pedals and microphone inputs) - as I use it for both my home desktop and for my docked work laptop, basically as a cheaper KVM with a HEAP of high-speed USB inputs.

        So it could honestly be any number of hardware-related issues causing it to fail from waking up.

        Now I either leave the PC on for extended periods as needed (Linux is pretty famous for stability!), or just shut it down if not.
