My Linux laptop doesn't have this problem as well except for when I have an external drive plugged via USB which was almost always for backups: then it makes the screen go black and turns the fans on 100% and stays that way. Forever. If I'm fast enough there's a small window of time where I can mash random buttons to make it wake up again. Luckily this doesn't seem to happen with external SSDs plugged in via USB so it's all good 🤷‍♀️

    My Linux laptop doesn't have this problem, in fact it enters such a deep sleep that it needs to be force shutdown and rebooted if I remove any USB device whilst it's asleep
