I have already tried many Linuxes with the notebook mentioned above and everything runs quite well.
However, every Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Devuan, Fedora, …) with different desktops has the problem that when I shut down the notebook, it starts to shut down, but then hangs up and does not switch off completely. It can only be switched off hard using the power switch.
Has anyone ever had this problem?
What can be done about it?
Hi @xylo_manius and welcome,
Sometimes when I shutdown my Debian system, it goes into
a system update with messages from systemd. That can take a long time, but it does eventually shut down.
I take it that you are not experiencing the above, because it would not happen with Devuan.
Therefore, I think we are dealing with something specific to your notebook.
What you might check is your power/sleep/hibernate settings.
If there is nothing unusual there, I think you have to
conclude it is a hardware issue
