I’ll give this a try, thanks!

I’ll look into the HDMI route, but as far as I’m aware it won’t support the ultrawide at 240Hz so I either give up what I paid for hardware capability or switch back to windows, unfortunately.

Eh I think it comes down to convenience. My ADHD ass isn’t able to be at my computer 5 minutes early to deal with session switching just to wake my own computer from sleep so while Windows has tons of other issues and I hate Microslop with a burning passion, I’m still ultimately tied to it since I realistically simply can’t use Linux and “survive”. If the maintainers can focus fixing these usability issues rather than bitching about Rust adoption in the kernel, we could be having a different conversation.

Dang okay yeah I’m really learning this is a deep issue with Linux that seems to be nondescript across many vendors/display techs. I’ve tried turning off VRR, dropped refresh from 240Hz to 60Hz, and nothing has worked consistently.

This is exactly what I’ve been doing but it’s not ideal. I did finally give up and switch to Windows after it made me late for a meeting this morning. So close but Linux still doesn’t seem viable as a real daily-driver.

Yeah that’s what I had gone with the problem is I also have a Kanali TryX CPU cooler and it will burn-in since the vendor doesn’t make a Linux version of their controller software. I essentially have to sleep the system or run a windows VM all the time to be able to sleep that when I’m not around. Only other option I can think of is to just shut all that stuff off but then what’s the point?
