I'm new to linux and I've been running into some trouble. I use linux mint and sometimes (fairly often) after my laptop goes to sleep it freezes completely when it wakes up. I can't move the mouse, click, use the keyboard, or open a terminal. The only way I can get out of it is to force shutdown. I've used several different distros and they all have this problem. Is there any kind of fix to this or should I just go back to windows?
