Wake Up from Standby not possible

Hello, First of all, I would like to say that I am fairly new to Linux. I was bothered by all the new AI features and the requirement to use a Microsoft account in Windows 11. That’s why I installed Bazzite on my computer. So far, it’s been working great, and even games on Steam run flawlessly. Apart from that, however, I have a problem when my PC goes into standby mode. Since this happens quite often for me, it’s pretty annoying. Specifically, the PC doesn’t seem to actually go into standby mode; the screens turn off, as do the mouse and keyboard. However, the fans remain on the entire time and the power LED also stays lit. It is no longer possible to wake up the PC; the mouse comes back when I move or click it, but nothing else happens. The screens remain dark, and nothing happens even when I press the power button on the PC. The only thing that helps is to press the reset button. My search has shown me that standby is often a problem, but I haven’t found anything that specifically applies to me. As I said, I’m completely new to Linux, so I don’t really have a starting point for getting to the bottom of the problem. Can anyone help me? Im running: Bazzite with KDE for AMD, no Game Mode. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700x GPU: AMD RX 6700XT MB: ASUS Prime B550-Plus Thanks for your help. Regards

what happens if you run echo s2idle | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep & then try sleeping

@nagito || Knight of Emilia unfortunately the same, are there any logs i can have a look at?

what about echo deep | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep logging usually helps with a great many things but when a PC is asleep everything stops including typical logging so it's harder to figure out what the deal is my current system doesn't really have sleep issues

hmm could you update the BIOS might help the BIOS plays a pretty large role in sleep more specifically waking up

Sadly standby and black screens have always been a problem for me so I have it disabled. I've looked hard and long for a solution but have found nothing as well.

B550 mobo? you might need to disable GPP0 wakeup can you try running
sudo sh -c "echo GPP0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
sudo sh -c "echo GPP0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
on the terminal, then try suspending and see if it succeeds?

Unfortunaley doesn't solve the issue. Also did an BIOS update without success.
