One hour seems too long for a nap. Have you tried shorter ones, e. g. 20 minutes? AFAIK napping for only a few minutes doesn’t affect you much, too long of a nap causes issues you described.

It seems to have been fixed, try this: [GitHub link] (github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/3594#issuecomment-33…)

Or try the suggestion above (revert to the old kernel).

One can only undefined

In #1 when you say the monitor displays the DE, is the Dock visible? If not, it could be that you’re trying to interact with the DE but the dock and application launcher is on the laptop display.

I didn’t have to change any config values and it works. The only other thing I can think of is that I have Gnome Tweaks installed and the ‘Suspend when laptop lid is closed’ is disabled in the ‘General’ tab.

Another thing to try is to see what Pop!_OS outputs in the /var/log/syslog file when this happens. What I would suggest you do is:

open the terminal app

type sudo /var/log/syslog -f (this will start writing all sorts of messages to the screen)

do your step #1 (when it becomes unresponsive)

open the lid again so the system becomes reponsive

press Ctrl + c to stop outputting the contents of the systog file.

Scroll up and see if there’s any error, warning or something to that affect in the log related to power management, displays or the desktop environment.

And one more thing which is probably obvious: make sure your system is up do date (both the operating system and the BIOS).

I blocked Microsoft in WhatsApp and they reverted back to sending SMS messages. However, this won’t help if you (like me) I refuse to install Microsoft apps on your phone.

Whereabouts are you riding? Group ride?

It’s not a backdoor, it just enabled Firefox’s remote debugging tool by default

Just? I’m sorry but that’s just a terrible mistake to make, especially for a browser that people use to surf the world wild web. I don’t know if you’ve ever used a remote debugger (I do), but depending on the debugger, it can be a very powerful tool, you can do a lot of things with it. I don’t think calling it a backdoor is a massive exaggeration. I don’t doubt the developer’s good intention, but this issue shouldn’t be dismissed as an insignificant issue.

To add insult to the injury, it didn’t even prompt the user for it.

Zen is as secure as firefox is.

Unless you tweak the default Firefox settings in the code base, e.g. github.com/zen-browser/desktop/…/zen-browser.js#L… (allow unsigned extensions by default).
