I had the same issue on CachyOS, don't let the system go into sleep because it's always going to happen. It's a problem with KDE, or KWin, because it doesn't happen on GNOME. I had other issues with KDE's plasmashell freezing and recovering several times every single day for around 8 months.

Ctrl Alt F3 will open the terminal, Ctrl alt F2 afterwards should take it back to the desktop.

Swapped to Hyprland weeks ago, issues don't persist there either

TrashyOS , oh yeah ,it s a great Linux distro .

Disable every single form of sleep mode. Just use a Display only sleep timer.

It's a common problem on Linux. Unless you run extremely Linux friendly hardware (A ThinkPad for example.), your computer will most likely not recover especially if it is a "custom" PC. My HP does recover from sleep but my current off-brand miniPC don't for example.

The only real solution here is to disable suspend completely.

It has nothing to do with Cachy specifically because it happens on other distributions, it's a problem isolated to Plasma KDE, there are other DEs which don't have that problem.

Windows still has a plethora more issues than Linux ever does, literally a third of the Windows code nowadays is vibe coded and the developers can't do anything without breaking everything 😂
If Microsoft went open-source, FOSS could literally fix all of their problems within a year and Windows would stop being trash. Windows 7 could also work again with full support.

dont bother with the trolls, they have nothing to contribute to the conversation.

Overall it has been a much more positive experience on CachyOS. Windows was becoming horrendous, like stop putting ads in my desktop os please and thank you.

also the biggest bug I moved over for ironically was due to sleep behaviour, this sounds like its minor and fixable. so net positive with Linux all around.

Yeah you can just not use the suspend feature or switch DEs if you want to use sleep mode.

If you want to stop it just go into KDE system settings and scroll down to power management

i walked this way long before you .i know Linux is trash ! Go Windows or SteamOS if you value your life and quality of life.

SteamOS is literally still Linux. Nothing changes other than the packages and kernel changes that Valve is doing alongside the Arch community.

If Linux is trash, then Windows is an entire landfill.

@r.linder, dude , Linux is trash because of poor driver support .they dont have money . But Valve has $ .Their divices work . Here is the difference.

You couldn't say anything more to exemplify how little you actually know about this topic.

Drivers are constantly being updated and included in the kernel, the majority of driver issues on Linux are NVIDIA's drivers because they don't want to put the money and effort in and they refuse to do open-source drivers. The rest have more to do with specific laptops but if you get a ThinkPad, you're good.
AMD on the other hand does open-source drivers and proprietary drivers and they all have a use in different situations and you can quickly switch between them on the fly. Issues with AMD drivers are fixed very quickly in the open-source Mesa drivers.
Won't take long for Intel's Arc drivers on Linux to surpass NVIDIA's especially with Linus Torvalds driving an Arc B580.

Valve doesn't do anything to change the driver situation because they're only working with their own custom and semi-custom hardware and they're focused on refining features of SteamOS itself, it's the actual manufacturers that are supposed to be responsible for their own Linux drivers, which NVIDIA has neglected, which is a major reason in why SteamOS still isn't available for all hardware yet. Valve can't push it because NVIDIA's DX12 performance is so bad on Linux that even a 5090 can lose to a 9070-XT. How are they supposed to explain that the manufacturer of their expensive GPU doesn't give a crap?

There's literally nothing special about SteamOS that makes it work better than any other version of Arch because it's literally Arch 🤣🤣

It's just configured to work specifically with the Steam Deck given the intended use case of the device, other distros have already adapted versions that work on handhelds, it's literally nothing special. They've done more for Linux in the way of contributing packages like gamescope than by the distro itself, and not much is going to change with SteamOS after general release because Arch is already a complete functional OS.

I'll stop "blathering and flexing" when you stop saying stupid things, but given you you pretty much always do, that's never gonna happen. You jump into topics you know little about thinking you know everything, and you don't, and you get educated every single time.
