Would this part potentially get in the way of the method you suggested?

One fairly recent thread had a proposed solution of adding "mem_sleep_default=deep" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.

Should I remove that?

I moved to Tuxedo from Kubuntu after having MASSIVE problems there, but I honestly can't remember if I was using the Sleep feature.

Is “sleep” hibernate or suspend?

How can I tell the difference? The button says "Sleep". I don't see anything like "Power Settings" in System Settings.

Also, is this triggered by manually putting to sleep or by for example closing a laptop lid?

It's a PC, not a laptop. I click the "Sleep" button in the Application Launcher.

Just tried it now. Does it need a reboot first? As in: should I try again?

Sorry, mate, I'm a Linux noob.

I have no clue where to find the logs for this.

No idea what a VT is.

Don't know how to boot into single user mode....

Sorry, forgot to mention hardware in the OP. I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and no dedicated GPU (yet).

Sorry, forgot to mention hardware! Added in an edit now!

I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and no dedicated GPU (yet).

I ran sudo update-grub after making the changes. That and rebooting a bunch of times since.

A lot of stuff now happens automagically

Nothing happens automagically. You need to specifically ask Copilot to do something.

makes it harder to see the reasons and structures and language of how it is meant to work

This I also don't fully agree with. Like I mentioned, Copilot won't automatically place formulas everywhere - it just designs them but you need to copy-paste them into the appropriate spots.

So, yeah, you're not writing the formulas, but it's not like the whole thing just magically appears.

You’ll become better at spreadsheets

Great! Thing is: a day only has 24 hours and right now I need to get better at managing IT infrastructure and business processes, not spreadshets.

If you have the time to research Excel - go for it! Absolutely nobody is forcing you to use Copilot.

What is stopping you from playing Minecraft itself on Linux?

I wanted to try something new.

Some useless nonsense, like generative AI.

This is a very ignorant and prejudiced take.

AI in Excel is an amazing feature that will help TONNES of people do what they never could It can design tables and write (but not insert) advanced formulas for the user.

Sure, you could say "just be an Excel expert", but - for example - my daily work is nowhere near Excel. Learning its advanced features would be a 100% waste of time, just to be able to prep a fancy chart every couple of years. So, instead, I can just ask Copilot to do that fancy thing for me, instead of wasting hours online, trying to figure out XLOOKUP, or some such.

Copilot can design a table, and even fill out some data, but it won't input any formulas. It will write them for you and tell you where to put them, but you have to copy-paste them on your own.

Also, with versioning, even if it did and caused a problem, you could always just roll back to a previous version of the file. Not really an issue.
