When my laptop is in sleep mode and i lift lid to awake Zorin 17 it freezes and crashes and i have to force reboot. It doesn't happen every time but yea.

The first thing I would try is: sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf Arrow key to #HandleLidSwitch=suspend Remove the hashtag and set to ignore HandleLidSwitch=ignore Tap ctrl+o to overwrite, then the enter key to save current configuration. Tap ctrl+x to exit the editor.
