  • Alright, I think I may have found my solution.

    • The crash only occurs on desktop environments that use x11, it does not occur on DEs that use Wayland.
    • The only DE that uses Wayland that Pop officially supports (that I can tell at least) is “Pop (on Wayland),” which is GNOME.
    • GNOME doesn’t look or feel familiar to me, Cinnamon does. I really like Cinnamon. But today I realized GNOME extensions can be used to make GNOME feel different, and are (at least so far) remarkably stable.
    • By installing the extension manager, and then adding the extensions “Dash to Panel” and “ArcMenu” and tweaking them I’ve been able to achieve the look and feel that I was going for with Cinnamon, on a DE that doesn’t crash on suspend. (Note for anyone else that tries this: I had to disable the “Cosmic Dock” and “Pop COSMIC” extensions so things would play nice with the new extensions.)

    So it’s a workaround. It’s essentially finding a way to make the “new” stuff feel like the old stuff, but as an added benefit, I get all the functionality that the new stuff offers.
