Hi, this is a long lasting problem that I didn’t really manage to fix when I started using linux (Mint, Cinnamon). But now that I’ve been using it regularly for half a year and I have more experience in fiddling around, I’m trying to get it resolved.
Whenever I suspend the laptop (or close the lid, which does it automatically) the Wifi and sometimes an external monitor don’t work anymore, I don’t know what the problem is. The wifi is fixed by powering on and off again. To fix the monitor sometimes even powering off and on again didn’t fix it, I usually waited for the next day and it worked again.
I’ve no idea of how to fix this (Linux Mint forums didn’t help at the time)
Laptop is an MSI GS65-Stealth-Thin-8RF running Linux Mint, with Cinnamon Desktop

I’m not sure what the question here is. Are you wondering which level of suspension you want your laptop to go into when you close the lid?
You should understand ACPI sleep states when trying to setup whatever active states you want your machine to be in when you close the lid, because there is a chain of events that happen when you do so. Your machine may only support one, or a few states (s0-s3) that may not allow this. The first step is above, and the second is understanding what state your machine is being put into once you close that lid, so start there with Mint configuration and how it’s dealing with the lid closing.
I believe they’re saying that when come back from suspension, the wifi doesn’t work until they reboot.
I’m not sure, but there is a Power Managment menu in Cinnamon and I have creenshots:
