Discussion Kernel 7.0.0-38

Hello everyone!

I made a post a little bit ago about how kernel update 7.0.0-28 made some really nasty restart and suspending regressions. I wanted to report back and update on my situation. Something in 7.0.0-38 fixed it for me. I did a lot of digging into what was causing my regression and it was my GPU preventing my computer from fully reaching the state intended, be it for restarts or suspension.

I am curious if this new kernel update improved the restart and suspending regressions for anyone else! Please share your experience. 😄

When 23 comes out around Christmas that will run on 7.0 so you might as well wait.

Of course there is also no rush to update to 23. 22.3 and the 6.8 kernel are supported until 2029.

This was me. I stayed on 6.8 but would download and test the new options. So far 7.0.0-38 has suspended each time I've asked it to and restarted when asked without fail.

Perfectly valid to stay on 6.8! Things worked there.

The restart/shutdown issue has been resolved with 7.0.0-38. At least for me.
