[SOLVED] My Arch doesn't wake up after suspend, any advice?

Hello Arch community,
I have installed Arch with KDE using BTRFS filesystem with NVIDIA open drivers and Linux kernel (6.2.2-arch2-1).

My problem comes when I suspend the system with KDE or systemd (systemctl suspend) I can't wake up the system and the screen doesn't load, the cooler and motherboard are activated but I can't do anything. I have also tested waking up the computer, entering the password from the login screen, then opening a new terminal with a shortcut (Ctrl+Enter) and running reboot, but nothing happens, so maybe it is not detecting the keyboard either.

What could be causing this error? I've read that the latest Linux kernel has some problems with suspend mode or the nvidia drivers. Do I need to use a swap to suspend? I think is only for hibernate mode (which also turns off the RAM).

Any tips, I just need this to work perfectly with Arch.

Anyway thanks to all.

with NVIDIA open drivers

Try the regularly evil closed source driver.

Yes, that was it! I simply installed the NVIDIA package with pacman:

sudo pacman -S nvidia

which removed nvidia-open for conflicting dependencies. Then I rebooted, put the system to sleep using KDE and my Arch woke up fine.

Thanks @Seth, I will stay with proprietary drivers until open drivers works well with NVIDIA (or at least fix that issue). And in the future I will be using AMD GPU hopefully under Wayland.
