Is there a reason you don’t want to share the problem and workaround you found , which might help some people here?

See my posts

Presentation mode on fedora 38 gnome

One needs to disable auto-suspend for fedora 38 to prevent that. Fedora 37 and earlier did not auto-suspend, but that was changed with fedora 38. According to this web site one can disable the auto-suspend with sudo systemctl mask {sleep,suspend,hibernate,hybrid-sleep}.target

and

Can Fedora Workstation be configured so SSH logins inhibit suspend?

I agree, but the issue I commented on is that I was not aware of any warning that may have been distributed about the upcoming change with auto-suspend being enabled. I have found how to disable suspend but the lack of information is frustrating. No advance notice and no publicized work-around as preparation for the change.

Talk: GNOME suspends after 15 minutes of user inactivity, even on AC power

I have a system used as a Server (but running Workstation) sitting next to the network switch in the utility room, and Fedora Workstation in a old iMac in an outbuilding office. After installing F37 the server dropped off the network overnight. I created a “drop-in” in `/etc/sleep.conf.d/.conf" to disallow the 4 “AllowX=yes” settings: AllowSuspend=no AllowHibernation=no AllowSuspendThenHibernate=no AllowHybridSleep=no My network monitoring software checks for internet connectivity and the …

Additionally I used the gnome settings to disable auto suspend from within gnome, but the one that seems to have fixed it (semi-)permanently was masking the 4 targets

I do have a problem in that if I leave a chrome window open while the screen is locked it sometimes causes the system to crash. When I close chrome before walking away from the keyboard the system does not crash. I don’t think this has anything to do with the subject of suspend though.
