From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had a bug similar to this for years. I tried multiple distros, DEs, hdmi cables, display port cables, etc etc. I didn't want suspend, but I really need screen blanking. I finally had a revelation deep in some forum somewhere that mentioned some feature on my monitor. I forget what it was exactly, but it was an 'auto' something that prevented the computer itself from doing anything.
Odd, but possible.
i had the autosuspend issue with mint. tried to troubleshoot it for two years. every now and then i thought i found the solution, but weeks or months later the issue reappeared, and i swear i started balding because of that shit! thought it might be because I'm using a tv as a monitor, but other distros didn't have the same issue, they just had much worse issues. recently tossed my nvidia and got an amd gpu, switched to ultramarine kde. I'm living with a lot of minor bugs now, but it suspends! funny thing is that mint didn't recognize the tv after waking from suspend after switching to amd...
