My #linux project continues. Two more family members get their laptops today. My gaming laptop runs smoothly with only one hiccup. If my #popos laptop goes to sleep, I've got about a 50/50 chance that when it wakes up it loses networking. It won't see the wifi and the interfaces cease to exist. turning airplane mode on and off and restarting the networking service doesn't fix it. Only a reboot. That is annoying. Research into the problem isn't promising.
@infoseclogger solution - never use hibernate or suspend only screensaver to blank screen - that's what i do anyways #wake on lan pkt

@infoseclogger I haven't had that happen recently, and not on pop os, but I have seen it. I think it's wifi chipset related so rare? Anyway, my solution was a script. I might work for you:

#! /usr/bin/env bash
sudo ip link set wlp0s20f3 down
sleep 1
sudo ip link set wlp0s20f3 up

@infoseclogger that’s the issue that made me give up on pop.

I'm going to try the recommended fixes, but may do a reinstall of something else. Probably Cachy.

Before anyone responds with Bazzite (yet again) instaler fails form 3 thumb drives on multiple pieces of hardware remove it from consideration.

@infoseclogger I have no big issues on Fedora 44, I personally life the other Univeral Blue distros over bazzite.
@infoseclogger Not sure if you tried it, but PCI power settings in BIOS might help.
