I appreciate it! My goal is to continue to tool out tools to add value where possible.
A fair sized area of focus is a proper hibernate option. Suspend is fine for a short term, but when someone sticks a laptop in a backpack, it really should have its state saved and be properly off into a state of hibernate. :)

Welp, so much for summer. I looked out the window, then took this photo. Sigh.

Yeah, I feel for those affected. Especially at airports. But I am shield from this on multiple fronts. Linux, first. Desktop OS stuff, second.

I am however, going to give serious consideration to potentially leaning in with openWakeWord. @npub1exv…3ch9 turned me onto it. Looks interesting.

For Linux specific questions, you can reach me directly on my personal Mastodon account, here. Just tag me so I see this (quicker).

Thanks, it's a good start!

Just realized the Mastodon account for @FrameworkPuter when I first came on board has 17k followers. Not bad.
Our first post, November 18th, 2022. I honestly wasn't sure how popular it would be - boy was I pleasantly surprised!

Good question, not sure. I suspect it's one person. Found on Reddit.

Gotcha. This helps. Should you ever venture that way again, I'd love to see the log events. Helps me, help them.

Lastly as I'm super curious. Which distro and kernel?
openSUSE for example, has had suspend issues off and on (regression if memory serves, Tumbleweed). Logs will usually indicate why, but yeah, it's a thing.
Regarding the "works for me crowd", technically the desktop (whatever it may be) should not be able to inhibit suspend unless something is creating the option to do so.
However, config, attached devices, missing services or even a specific KDE setting, can inhibit suspend

I know of countless other distros, same laptop, KDE or GNOME where they have suspend issues.
This does not take away from the truth of your experience. Doesn't work is doesn't work. Full stop. I will never tell your experience isn't relevant.
But I'd be curious what the logs say. Something in that KDE config inhibiting suspend or, something associated with the distro's implementation of said KDE install.
Moreless curious as it interests me professionally. :)

Coming from a guy who supports the "it's not working" and "it's working" crowds equally, here's my take.
I spend a lot of time troubleshooting suspend issues for work. My two cents are this in your case.
If suspend works on GNOME, etc, bios is not the issue. If nothing else changed with your configuration outside of the desktop, that specific desktop config and likely, the distro are at fault.
Fedora 40 KDE, suspends no problem on Framework Laptops... (cont)

Spent the weekend playing various intensive Steam games on my Framework Laptop 16 - dGPU switching just magically happens when you launch a game - no DRI_PRIME needed on Framework Laptop AMD images of Bazzite. And they're just getting warmed up. https://bazzite.gg
Also, on my Framework Laptop 13 running Bluefin - look to the upper left corner at the launcher. Yeah, and Bluefin is just warming up.

May the 4th be with you.

Yes, this is legit and is something I've enlisted the NixOS community to help with. I am mysterious like that. It's a work in progress, the community members I'm working with will help me make the final selection.
