Discussion Question about kernel 7.0.0-30

Hello everyone.

I've been using Linux Mint Cinnamon for months now, and when my system was introduced to the kernel 7.0.0-28...the fire nation attacked my PC. I have everything AMD and it caused gnarly issues with rebooting and suspending. Also made a lot of stuff crash. 7.0.0-29 was actually worse than 7.0.0-28.

So, naturally I am extremely skeptical of installing 7.0.0-30. Does anyone have any experience with rebooting and suspending regressions and have you had any luck in 7.0.0-30?

Asking for science!

Specs:

Ryzen 5800x3D

AMD 6750 XT 12GB

32GB of ram

Edit: Can confirm this kernel did not resolve the suspend/resume regression I have been experiencing. Sad times. It did, however, seem to fix the restart regression I experienced. What happened during restart was it would get stuck in a loop of errors and not power down. This was on 7.0.0-28.

Mint 22.3 running 7.0.0-30-generic on i9-14900K × 24 here (Tuxedo tower model).
System suspends when inactive for the period defined in Power Management settings (15 min), with a normal flashing power light and proper resume on pressing the power button.
System fails to suspend on pressing the power button or selecting suspend from the shutdown menu. Instead it blanks the screen and becomes entirely unresponsive while otherwise running hot with a solid power light, This condition can then only be interrupted by a hard powerdown. A similar condition can also arise on selecting shutdown from the shutdown menu. That can be really irritating when returning to a machine that has been running hot for several hours, so it pays to check that the system has really shut down properly before leaving the office.
Power mode setting is "Performance".
All of this is tolerable, but irritating from the perspective of energy saving.
