• Configuration File:

• Description:
  After some time of utilization, sway randomly freezes the system right after suspending with systemctl suspend. At first I experienced this issue every once in a while, but with recent upgrades it has become very recurrent. Tested with both version 1.10.1 release and the one built from git master branch. I'm on Arch Linux (rolling release) with kernel 6.12.18-1-lts.

I should add that for "freezes" I mean that the screen goes blank and the mouse cursor doesn't respond to any input. During the freeze I'm not able to logout or kill the process since the whole system seems to hang and doesn't respond to any input and I can't even access a TTY.

Have you checked your log? For me, it freezes for a few seconds when my rclone backup script is running. Maybe it's not sway

For some reason it hasn't happened again a while, but I'm pretty sure it was some sort of bug somewhere in the GPU drivers.
