Help needed: Laptop freezes after waking from sleep

I’m a Linux and Budgie newcomer experiencing an issue with my laptop. When I open the lid after closing it, or when the laptop wakes up after being idle for 20+ minutes, it freezes. I’ve checked all settings but can’t find options to control this behavior. Any advice on fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, @Guimar!

Even if you don’t specify the model of your laptop, the problem seems well known and quite widespread.

Have you done the latest updates? The recent switch to kernel 6.11.0-17 may provide a solution, compared with 6.8.0, which was responsible for a number of little annoyances of this kind.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

If it doesn’t change anything, this page could open up new horizons for you, especially paragraph #2.

Anyway, come back and tell us. There are other possibilities to explore.
