Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

I have to turn on my screen before turning on the PC otherwise Linux doesn't appear on the screen.

Also if the screen goes into standby In often have to restart my computer.

I have Nvidia so not sure if thats the reason

Since I don't know how technically knowledgeable you are: maybe it's the screen rotating the different input sources? Sometimes I have to press the switch input button when the screen stays black

I've had this issue with my PC (where sleeping would cause the system to not recover) I found something that worked for me online, let me know if you would like to try. But must admit it appears to have been sorted naturally now for approx a year or so at my end.
