We can’t even get widespread adoption on workstations, what are the chances we’ll ever get them on mobile?
It’s all the same problems. There aren’t nearly enough people using it for developers to spend their time developing compatible versions of their software, much less ones with a mobile-friendly interface.
Maybe they’ll work with PWAs but those still suck.
I couldn’t possibly recommend it to anyone who is not a programmer. It doesn’t work for shit. The simplest and most basic things like just installing software is nigh-impossible for normies.
Any additional details you can add would go a long way towards troubleshooting. That desktop are you using (ex: Gnome, KDE, etc) and what model of laptop, the full hardware specs including CPU, GPU, WiFi model, etc. Finally, you’ll want to look at the system logs to see if there’s anything useful in there after resuming from sleep (journalctl).
I'm trying to get the logs, but it's difficoult to paste them all here, I got a few on this link. But they all seem from 20 October, wierd. https://sharetext.me/nqz5mfph2y
The lines are quite many, they started at 1pm, while now that I was testing it's 5pm, only to go down by one minute it took quite a long time (definetly more than 1 minute) I'm not sure how to check
I must have just missed that originally, I was commenting before coffee.
I see you have the combination graphics (Optimus is what it was originally called IIRC) which has a history of sleep wake issues, that might be a good place to start on the monitor search.
Do you have Nvidia GPU? I am not sure if that could be related, but sometimes my old laptop would behave funky after resuming it from sleep when using nouveau driver. Although generally I just wouldn’t get any video output. But I could never get past login screen, and it sounds unlikely it would affect WiFi, but who knows?
It’s been a while, but if I recall correctly Linux has always had issues with resuming from suspend. I would set it to not suspend, make closing the lid do nothing.
Mhm, but it doesn't sound great. If you forget it's on, you put it in a backpack to then get it out at around 300 degrees. Sounds like a very bad idea.
Honestly, I recommend everyone without existing Linux experience to use Fedora: it's reasonable modern (nice for, e.g. gaming), while also not being a full rolling release model like Arch (which needs expertise to fix in case something breaks).
It's also reasonably popular, meaning you will find enough guidance in case something does break.
Alternatively, don’t use Pop_OS. I installed it on an ex’s laptop because it was easy but it’d have all the same problems as Ubuntu without the helpful diagnostic tools and extensive documentation. Hers messed up far more than my Arch install
I had several drives in my PC, so I wiped a small one and just installed a few different distros and figured out what I liked. I ended up sticking with nobara with KDE.
