    <p>Ditto. Ubuntu 20.04 with Mate DE. I can close lid and suspend
      easily and awake easily. I don't unplug the power though as that's
      a risk if the battery craps out before waking, as Ted states<br>

          suspend and power fails your ram image of work is lost. You
          can try hibernate, but there have been issues with Linux and
          hibernate. Hibernate puts the snapshot image of your work on
          the hard drive, but unless the resume is set to resume form
          the correct location you will have a failure.</div>

          to suspend during the day, if I go out or take an hour off for

          and closing all apps. Your LXde is fine. I use Xfce4 or Mate,

          easier to manage after also finding the "extras" package for

          I have often heard that Linus can have problems with
          hibernation. Can you just 'Suspend' the system instead? That
          ssem to be less problematical, though even that can be iffy,
