When isn't nvidia meh?
It's funny. I used gnome for a long time, and after I fully switched to Debian, I didn't have any problems with my nvidia card with gnome + wayland. But I switched to plasma recently, and it's janky. I figured out my vsync issues, but it still runs a post when I wake it from sleep, which just defeats the purpose of sleep mode. I might as well shut it down every time I'm done using it like it's 1997.
But I started using X + KDE, and most of my problems went away. Still takes forever to wake from sleep. But that's it, really.
Hello, I shut down PC every time I'm done using it like it's 1997
Yeah, in this day and age, why even keep the computer running if there aren't any important tasks running? I've always shut my computers down at the end of the day, but mainly because I'm poor and watch my bills very closely... :P
I keep mine running 24/7 because it puts less thermal wear on the hardware. But I pay a flat rate for my electricity included in my rent, so it doesn't cost any extra.
May I ask how does turning it off cause more wear and tear? From my understanding, running it constantly wears it out, but I've never heard that turning it off causes it to thermal wear?
Thermal expansion and contraction is what can lead to the die cracking. Not really a problem on anything other than laptops with shitty coolers which can reach 110C.
LMDE Cinnamon user here. There's a setting in the power options that tells the computer to switch to hibernate if it remains in suspend for a certain amount of time. Hibernated computers suspend to disk rather than RAM and are basically switched off, so need to POST to come back online.
It took me a while to find that setting, and it might be the same case with whatever you're using.
What's more, it only took effect if I used the GUI to put the computer into suspend mode. I usually use a keyboard combo to suspend the computer at night, but occasionally I'd use the GUI and come back in the morning to a hibernated computer.
Thought I'd been taking crazy pills or that there was something wrong.
My main gripes are that inconsistency between suspend methods and also that there's no setting for how long to stay in suspend before hibernating. I have no idea if that's a UEFI thing or something that could be set elsewhere, but I'd probably use that feature if I could set it.
As it is I'm giving the hybrid option a try. Basically it suspends like normal, but also sets up a hibernated restart for if the power goes out. That hasn't happened yet, so can only assume it'll work when the time comes.
Pull the plug on your computer sometime to try it out?
Yeah, I really should. I'll have a piece of hardware to install soon, so I might test it before I do that. Gotta switch off anyway so might as well.
I still haven't been able to get wake from sleep working in distros with Wayland on my PC with an NVIDIA GPU. Tried in EndeavourOS and Garuda. It crashes trying to wake from sleep every time. I've tried everything in the arch wiki and search engine results like modifying config files and whatnot, no dice.
