[Discuss] new laptop, new problems

[Jerry Feldman]

What brand?
I assume you use fedora. Go to settings/power. You will see "screen blank",
"Automatic Suspend" under power saving options. Click on automatic suspend
and you will see a dialog box containing a "when idle" on/off button, and a
delay pulldown. When you are in suspend mode you have to press the power
button to wake it up. Or you can turn automatic suspend off and just use
screen blanking.
