A few things before using my Linux laptop with amdgraphics... If you want to shut the lid, or otherwise use sleep make sure it is powered off USB, if it is powered by the battery or the barrel jack it will wake up, but the screen won't - be prepared to his Alt-PrintScreen REISUB.

Get used to doing that multiple times a day, or it may be time to setup USB debugging and try and add some info to the bug report at...

I haven’t used Linux on an AMD laptop in like 10 years. Is that still a bug? That used to drive me crazy.

It was on my 2015 Intel MacBook Pro when I last used it with Linux a couple years ago. I ended up disabling all lid triggers and just manually hibernating it when needed.

I believe linux 5.x kernel fixed a lot of these, or maybe it was something else, definetely something when i moved the mac air to ubuntu 20. Sleeps works like a charm.

I'm on the latest kernel (Arch btw) and I still have to manually "sleep" my Dell XPS 9500. To add insult to injury, it's not even "real" S3 sleep. It's Microsoft, "we want access to your machine 24/7" S1 sleep.

To be fair, I haven't spent much time in the last year messing with any of that. I do miss the days when I could shut the lid on my old Thinkpad, it'd sleep, and I'd open it a day later to an i3lock screen, and it would have only drained a percentage point.
