#Thinkpad T480 takes very long to resume from suspend

I've been using Linux mint on my Thinkpad t480 and everything works great except for suspend.

It takes somewhere around 10 seconds for it to show the login screen from opening the lid as opposed to windows where it was almost instant.

All my drivers are up to date and I downgraded the bios to 1.48 to see if that changed anything and nothing changed.

I've tried more recent kernels and nothing changed.

Note this applies to all Linux distros I've tried so far (Linux mint, kde neon)

For now i have it set up to just lock the screen on lid close but I wish I could properly suspend.

Yeah it's the same for me too. Haven't found a fix yet.

#

I use Arch Linux.
It was the same on Fedora too.

mental maple
#

Yep

#

Same here

I think this is just a Linux issue.
Ive used KDE Plasma, Hyprland, SwayWM, all of them have the same problems.
I tried some x11 desktops too, BSPWM, plasma x11, i3, same thing.

The last great keyboard, enjoying the very same one on my T520. The 430/530 ones were worse, but still better than most others. And then came the Ultrabook rework, and everything went to shit.

most recent model even removed the trackpoint 😭

#

anyway this is getting off topic

Still valuable advice for OP, if they ever return.

mental maple
#

Yep

#

I would rather get an older Thinkpad than a new one

#

But for now the t480s all I got lol

@mental maple does it takes time to boot as well?

mental maple
#

No

#

It actually boots up fairly quickly

#

Faster than when I used windows

#

Sometimes it freezes on boot and I have to force shutdown to get it to work though
