I’ve been running Mint for years and have never experienced this issue. Either I’m lucky or your not. I say give Mint another shot, the devs have put in a lot of work over the years.
i left mint about half a year ago, after using it for over two years. i distrohopped during that time, i must’ve done like 7 clean installs and the issue persisted. weirdly though, it doesn’t happen on my media pc. it has crapped itself a few times but it always seems to suspend just fine. no idea what it is about my desktop that causes a wakelock, but ultramarine works just fine. I’d like to go back to mint just because i like cinnamon more…
Is the computer an old windows machine? I had a Lenovo laptop a while back that was a win 10 machine that I ran DBAN on then threw Mint on. After about a year of slow but solid performance I started having Grub issues and I just got sick of debugging it and gave up on it since it was just a hand-me-down and I prefer my desktop.
The previous windows install is the only thing I can see as the common denominator, I’ve installed Mint on three computers that started with no OS, and the Lenovo that was a Win 10 computer that I now have issues with.
Sorry I don’t have any real answers, I wish I did since I’m having issues with a laptop too.

yes it has had windows in its previous life, it’s lenovo p1 and i think gen 3. performance is quite ok though
