    Honestly, yes. Whenever my PC goes to sleep, my SSD stops working. I have to unplug it and plug it back in to make it work again.

    Journalctl suggests the SATA port doesn’t support suspend signals. I suspect my mobo (ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus) doesn’t fully support sleep on Linux. Though I’ve yet to test if it’s also an issue on Windows.

      Have the wifi version of that mobo. No issues with suspend with either ubuntu or Pop-OS. Using an nvme as primary.

      Might honestly be arch.

    I think an arch user would know to wear the antistatic band on the wrist that’s grounded… but maybe that’s just me. /pretentious_sniff

      I just did this yesterday! I’ve worked with Linux/Unix for a long time, but I’ve never had a Linux machine at home. We had an ancient cheap chromebook and I turned it into a functional Linux laptop! I used GalliumOS though, which isn’t being actively developed any longer, so I might have to change setups eventually.

        I really think chromebooks have a decent future in the linux community. Especially with them being cheap. I use mabox linux, its a manjaro +openbox distro with tons of customization options. Its way way cool. If you are more into debian you should check out bunson labs !

          In didn’t plan to distro hop on the chrome book, but having something actively maintained that’s a nice’d up Debian would be sweet.

          What have you done to me?!?!?

          Are these distros good at supporting various old chrome book hardware? Hell maybe even something like Mint would work, but I should probably stick with the lightweight ones.

            Mabox has an option at setup for Chromebook keyboards but i find binding from a regular keyboard less of a pain. My one real issue was the sound card, but SOF ( sound open firmware) fixed it immediately.

            Mint is basically perfect, i just wish their xfce edition was based on Debian And not ubuntu. Mint + debian = the tops. Another one to consider is Sparky Linux. I heard good stuff about it.

              Thanks again!

              The chrome book is in a state where I can boot from the USB drive and try out whatever I want, so I’m going to take a look!
