to be fair, during the past few years that I've used mint and kubuntu, not being able to shutdown, restart or suspend has been a pretty common issue 😅 so it'll be a nice familiarity for people migrating from windows
I still have this issue on my Pop_OS! laptop.
my kubuntu laptop gets like that every time i close the lid and wake it up. pleasantly surprised it hasn't happened on ultramarine kde on my desktop...although it has a ton of different issues
