I'm using PopOS (with i3 instead of Gnome) on a System76 laptop. I have some serious issues with resume from sleep. All browsers and electron apps have significant rendering issues after I resume and I have to close them down and restart them. I was able to fix Chrome and Firefox by enabling Vulkan, but Slack still requires a restart after every resume. My external monitors periodically stop working due to an NVIDIA driver bug. Have you had any similar issues?

Yeah outside of Lubuntu I’ve had bad luck with resuming sleep on laptops. My desktop doesn’t ever go to sleep (Nvidia 1660x) but that’s because over the years I’ve just had so much trouble. I’d still take Fedora or Ubuntu over Windows any day as that’s my only complaint. Then again I’ve been a Linux users since 2006 so to I’m amazed at how great driver support is now even compared to a few years ago.

I am using pop on an oryx and my external monitor doesn’t wake up from sleep. Most flat pack apps don’t work right - especially anything electron based. Zoom is a hot mess and fractional scaling still doesn’t work right. I just tried disabling the hidpi daemon in hopes my monitor wakes up correctly. We’ll see. All that said I am addicted to the speed of the OS compared to windows or Mac OS. I feel like I’m using the full power of the laptop. I’ve not tried plasma but I miss a lot of my Mac shortcuts like super + left or right going to the end of the line. Still don’t have that working. It’s so much better than it used to be but I would love to see one of the desktops reach the same level of polish as Mac or windows 10.

It's possible the Chromium/Electron thing is this bug[1], which affects new proprietary nvidia drivers on recent Chromium versions. I also experienced that bug, though I don't think it affected Firefox for me. It resolved itself for me recently in all apps except Slack. I have no idea why. I'm fairly sure I didn't update anything. While it was still reproducing, I tested a purported fix in the upcoming Chromium 87 (or 88?) and it was resolved. So just wait a bit or try Canary. More specific info in the bug thread of course. [1] https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1113040 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111304...

  Yep. Only Slack ever had that problem for me. I reopen it again after every resume, when I have to work with my customers. I don't use Slack for anything else.

    I can't stand the electron client of Slack, so I use ripcord instead.

I have same problem. It’s 100% with Slack (and I suspected because Electron) but only occasional with Zoom and rarely with Firefox.

I think this is a common problem on Nvidia. Firefox used to crash for me all the time coming out of hibernate. You can try Nvidia's solution.[1] [1]: https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/455.38/README/powermanagement.html https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/455.38/READ...

I'm running Pop_OS on my IdeaPad and have very few problems. From time to time, the Wifi doesn't come back up after resume (particularly when I've let it in sleep overnight, or switches networks while sleeping) and I have to reboot. As the machine boots in less than 12 seconds that's a tolerable annoyance though. The machine is Ryzen5/Vega so it requires no proprietary driver though it isn't Linux certified at all. The only piece of non-working hardware is the fingerprint reader (apparently a driver will come someday...).

I have this exactly same problem - Chromium, Firefox, Electron - and it's apparently an unfixed bug in the nvidia drivers. For me it only started a few months ago. I'm on Ubuntu 20.10 and it's still a problem.
