I am running Puppy Linux as you recommended. Just closed the laptop and the indicator lights turned off of a few seconds before lighting back up. When I opened the laptop it was back on the desktop running normal. Am I to understand that it somehow failed to stay or initiate suspend?

Ok, I'll give it a shot. I was also running Manjaro before and had no issues.

I have been trying out linux operating systems lately and had just installed Pop! OS on my laptop (the Nvidia image). I am running into an issue when I suspend (both closing laptop and suspending from the OS). It would show error messages about processes refusing to freeze or in the case of suspending from the OS, the login/splash screen would appear but frozen before kicking over to the aforementioned errors. I am largely a noob with linux so I have been looking through some forum posts and found a suggestion to add "mem_sleep_default=deep" or with "deep splash" to the config file in kernelstub. Neither resolves this issue. Laptop: MSI GS40 6QE Phantom Kernel: 5.8.0-7625-generic CPU: Intel i7-6700HQ GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M Edit: in Pop! OS, the systemctl suspend command works with no issue it would seem, just closing the laptop/suspend via the gui

Huawei p9 lite? Saw a few threads on it earlier since I'm looking for a new budget-ish phone. ZTE could be another one to look out for, as well as Moto. These are really the only ones I can think of without doing too much research.

Running a R9 270x and really need an upgrade...

It sure would be nice to have a beefy processor like this for the up and coming year. I don't think my budget gaming rig, that has been extra troublesome lately, can handle the editing/rendering I would need to do for my media studies courses. It would also be nice to be able to stream some games on my spare time.

I tried underclocking the vram to 1200mhz in Afterburner but the pink dots and the flickering ingame icons/texts are still there. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x0b67qsr9ranrro/Screenshot%202014-12-04%2014.05.01.png?dl=0

And how would one go about doing this? Catalyst Control Center?

So a few weeks ago I updated the bios to my MSI R9 270X coz I finally got the RAM bug where the screen flickers or judders down by like an inch for less than a second. For the past 2 weeks all is well but last night when I was playing USF4, the textures of the models were messed up, as in they point out of the characters in weird directions. I restarted the computer a few times and found this issue persists. I tested out different games like Payday 2 and the same issue happened to so I assume it was a driver or gpu issue. On the desktop and generally every program, there are these flickering pink dots which are most prominent in video playback. I used Driver Sweeper to remove my AMD graphics driver in safe mode and after the necessary reboots and re-installation of the newest drivers, the texture problems are fixed. However the pink dots are still flickering and what not and ingame texts and icons (like the character "bubbles" in the USF4 character select scree) are still buggy and flickering. Please help.

Okay, so a few months back I built a system with the following: AMD A10-5800k 3.8ghz MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 mobo Corsair Vengeance ram 8gb 1600mhz Corsair CX600 psu Samsung 840 series 120gb ssd My question is which card should I get? R7 260x or r9 270x? Money is not really the issue since my budget for my pc upgrade is about $350. I'm concerned if my APU or maybe my PSU would bottleneck the card making me not get what I'm paying for, as i think my APU is already 1 gen old and my PSU is 600 watts. I'm also running Windows 8, not 8.1, on my pc if that makes a difference. Also is 8.1 worth it coz i've heard messes up some games and my system is mainly a gaming pc?
