Fixing sleep mode on HP Victus (Intel i7, NVIDIA GTX 3050 mobile)
I encountered issues with hibernation on my laptop (running Kubuntu 23.10). Whenever I attempted to put it to sleep, it wouldn't wake up properly. Instead, I was greeted with either a black screen or occasional flickering displaying the last image before hibernation.
