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.
lol, wow. This makes me curious about your cable management. 😁
