- Pop on Wayland: Set
WaylandEnable
to true withsudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
, then reboot. Before typing in your password, click the cog icon at the bottom right to select Wayland. This gives you much better touchscreen controls in Firefox, for example.- Update: I'm no longer using Wayland as I think it was breaking auto-rotation (not confirmed).

Most suspend issues are fixed after a kernel update. (I'm on kernel 5.15 at the time of writing)

After coming out of suspend, the touchpad loses its acceleration, and gestures/scrolling stops working. Sometimes the touchpad stops working completely.
- Copy the attached
auto-tpfix.sh
into your home folder. - Then run
nano ~/.profile
and add the following lines to the end:# fix touchpad after suspend nohup ~/auto-tpfix.sh &
- Add the relevent commands to the sudoers file so that the auto-tpfix script can run without needing you to type in your password: run
sudo visudo
and add these lines at the end. Replace "yourusername" with your username.# allow tpfix yourusername ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/rmmod i2c_hid_acpi, /sbin/rmmod i2c_hid, /sbin/modprobe i2c_hid, /sbin/modprobe i2c_hid_acpi

I don't think all of this is necessary but I got fingerprint working with
sudo apt install fprintd libpam-fprintd libfprint-2-dev
and installing the (0.6 deb) driver from Dell: http://dell.archive.canonical.com/updates/pool/public/libf/libfprint-2-tod1-goodix/. Then register fingerprints in the Settings app (Users tab). -
I haven't been able to get my right index and middle finger registered but my other fingers work, for some reason.
- The keyboard should turn off when the screen is flipped over 180 degrees. However on pop, it is only disabled when you're fully in "tablet" mode. This makes the "stand" mode almost unusable.

Enable lvfs-testing to get ready for future firmware updates.
sudo fwupdmgr enable-remote lvfs-testing sudo fwupdmgr refresh sudo fwupdmgr update

I set my laptop to lock (not suspend) when I close the laptop lid, and suspend after having been closed for 30 minutes when not charging.
-
To do this, first edit your
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
file, and insert the following lines at around line 25. You can check the guide I used to see the other options.HandleLidSwitch=lock HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=lock HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
-
Now in the Settings app > Power > Automatic Suspend, enable the "On Battery Power" checkbox and set the delay to 30 minutes (or whatever you want).

Hey I've been going crazy trying to get suspend working on any distro. Before I found this I bounced around to a bunch of distros currently on fedora 35 and even with the kernel 5.15.0 suspend refuses to work. Is there some other secret I'm missing here?
