This is my current setting and it's working for me (Linux Mint 22, Nvidia GeForce GTX 745 using Nvidia 550.107.02 driver)

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf

and add these lines into it:

options nvidia-drm fbdev=1 options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

This fixed my issues!
Laptop: Lenovo p16v Gen 1
System:
Kubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, noble
AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics
Nvidia rtx A500: Driver 570.133.07
Kernel: 6.11.0-24-generic

(Issue remaining: "unable to change power state from D3hot to D0")

I also tried the answer from dmikushin, but it didn't change anything!

sudo systemctl unmask nvidia-suspend
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend
sudo systemctl unmask nvidia-resume
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-resume
sudo systemctl unmask nvidia-hibernate
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate
