    Honestly, yes. Whenever my PC goes to sleep, my SSD stops working. I have to unplug it and plug it back in to make it work again.

    Journalctl suggests the SATA port doesn’t support suspend signals. I suspect my mobo (ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus) doesn’t fully support sleep on Linux. Though I’ve yet to test if it’s also an issue on Windows.

      Have the wifi version of that mobo. No issues with suspend with either ubuntu or Pop-OS. Using an nvme as primary.

      Might honestly be arch.

      I’ve just given up on all sleep/hibernate stuff on Linux and pretend it doesn’t exist and we never invented that and just fully shut down like it’s 1995. Half the time it does work, it comes back in a half-ass zombie state anyway with shit broken left and right, needing a full reboot.

        Sleep isn’t even that useful these days anyways. If you have your OS installed on an SSD or an M.2, you’ll start up in about 10 - 15 seconds from fully powered off anyways.

          I used to agree with you, then I had to run to a meeting with a non closed laptop. Since my hinge was weak I was holding it like an open book, as to keep it open without closing anything important by touching the screen. The whole office stared at me like I am an alien.

          (I know you can change the behavior, but back then I had it on default, which would hibernate on lid closure and never wake up, so I just made a habbit of shutting it down before closing the lid)

            If the computer stays on for the whole work day already, why should it go to sleep for the two minutes you’re carrying it somewhere? Just disable sleep on closing the lid.

              Yeah let me jump in time to tell my younger self to do that before said event. /s

              Obviously I changed it afterwards. But before it was simply a non issue.

              And just to clarify it again, even though I said it above already: by default on my OS/DE back then, it would hibernate on lid closure and all work in progress would be lost.

          it’s nice if you have a bunch of automatically starting programs, though i imagine hibernation is pretty similar in that regard.

          I suppose NVME ssds might be more up to that task? I’ve been running a sata ssd on my machine since installing arch on it lol.

        I don’t even shut my computer down anymore. Just lock it and let the monitors go to sleep. Reboot as necessary for updates. Been doing this since like 2004 without any issues. Currently on Linux Mint.

        Did you use the Mrchromebox.tech “hack “ to use an alt OS on it? My Chromebook has become my daily driver now. Though I fuckers it up constantly.

      I just did this yesterday! I’ve worked with Linux/Unix for a long time, but I’ve never had a Linux machine at home. We had an ancient cheap chromebook and I turned it into a functional Linux laptop! I used GalliumOS though, which isn’t being actively developed any longer, so I might have to change setups eventually.

        I really think chromebooks have a decent future in the linux community. Especially with them being cheap. I use mabox linux, its a manjaro +openbox distro with tons of customization options. Its way way cool. If you are more into debian you should check out bunson labs !

          In didn’t plan to distro hop on the chrome book, but having something actively maintained that’s a nice’d up Debian would be sweet.

          What have you done to me?!?!?

          Are these distros good at supporting various old chrome book hardware? Hell maybe even something like Mint would work, but I should probably stick with the lightweight ones.

            Mabox has an option at setup for Chromebook keyboards but i find binding from a regular keyboard less of a pain. My one real issue was the sound card, but SOF ( sound open firmware) fixed it immediately.

            Mint is basically perfect, i just wish their xfce edition was based on Debian And not ubuntu. Mint + debian = the tops. Another one to consider is Sparky Linux. I heard good stuff about it.

              Thanks again!

              The chrome book is in a state where I can boot from the USB drive and try out whatever I want, so I’m going to take a look!

    I noticed they completely removed the power supply. I wonder if that’s them being overprotective or undercautious?

    I laughed about the meme.

    But It’s the opposite of my experience tbh. I had way more trouble before I finally switched to arch.

      Give NixOS a try. Imagine never even having the risk of a broken system ever again. Never getting stuck in the TTY because some update bricked to your shit. It’s a nice life on Nix.

        Idk, I like NixOS but it’s not problem-free and the worst part about it is that for some problems you won’t have much luck finding help in many places and on top of that the documentation isn’t the greatest. That said I have found less very serious issues, but also because I haven’t messed with it as much as Arch.

        Are you willing to take a list of my requirements and giving me a functional set of nix / homemanager / flake files that fullfill those requirements? (It’s a long and very particular list) I’ll even pay you 150$ if you can manage to fulfill 100% of the must haves and over 80% of the want haves.

        Because last time I tried it took over a week, was buggy (thus compromising about a quarter of the must have requirements) and provided no visible benefit over my current archlinux with a set of custom packages for dotfiles, config backups and bootable btrfs snapshots from my personal experience.

    I don’t fix my PC, I just throw it away amd buy a new one.

    Much faster than fixing a broken arch install.

      It’s really not that bad. Just don’t go off script unless you know what you’re doing. Same as every OS.

    Ah man this is the first meme I saw and I just got done giving up trying to install Arch because I’m getting some systemd hang from the USB installer.
