Hi, this is a long lasting problem that I didn't really manage to fix when I started using linux (Mint, Cinnamon). But now that I've been using it regularly for half a year and I have more experience in fiddling around, I'm trying to get it resolved.
Whenever I suspend the laptop (or close the lid, which does it automatically) the Wifi and sometimes an external monitor don't work anymore, I don't know what the problem is. The wifi is fixed by powering on and off again. To fix the monitor sometimes even powering off and on again didn't fix it, I usually waited for the next day and it worked again.
I've no idea of how to fix this (Linux Mint forums didn't help at the time)
Laptop is an MSI GS65-Stealth-Thin-8RF running Linux Mint, with Cinnamon Desktop

Is your laptop, by any chance, an HP? I had the same issue with wifi and finally, after about a year of frustration, found the solution HERE. To save a click, here's the part that worked for me, with the disclaimer that I don't honestly know how this works, but by the time I found it I was frustrated enough to run random code from the internet with sudo privileges on my main machine:
First, create the file
/etc/systemd/system/hp-keycodes.serviceand type/copy-paste the following into it:
[Unit]Description=HP setkeycodes fix[Service]Type=oneshotRestart=noRemainAfterExit=noExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes e057 240 e058 240[Install]WantedBy=rescue.targetWantedBy=multi-user.targetWantedBy=graphical.targetThen, run the following commands:
sudo systemctl daemon-reloadsudo systemctl enable --now hp-keycodes.serviceThat fixed it for me, hopefully it helps you (or someone else) as well!
no I have an MSI, but I hope in some ways this script helps people that might know more about it.
