Hard reboots cause problems?

I’m using an MSI Bravo 15 AMD Ryzen 7 laptop with 40GB RAM. I’m running Opensuse Tumbleweed, Gnome and Wayland, all up to date.

Situation: I close the lid on the laptop when I leave. And when I return and open it about 35% of the time the screen will be totally black and locked and totally unresponsive. And I’ll need to do a hard reboot (press down the power button) to shut down and reboot. I’ve been doing this for a long time. So far it seems none of these hard reboots have caused any problems. Are these hard reboots a problem? Or can Linux easily recover from lots of hard reboots? Any way to prevent these “lifting the lid” lockups? Aka post sleep lockups.

What other info you need?

Here’s the link with all the settings of my UEFI BIOS. Does this help?

Better upload to https://paste.opensuse.org/

Not everybody loves or even trusts Google.

Looks like that doesn’t allow bulk uploads. So I bulk uploaded the pics to Imgur. That ok?
