I remember reading something about their sometimes having low amounts of RAM so they do some weird things to make up for it.

That makes sense. I was doing a similar but opposite thing when I was still using Windows. It comes with hibernate but I never used it so I was removing the swap equivalent of it every time I install it.

Well, at least have fun with it. Good luck! :)

I guess not feasible was a strong word. I saw on a couple forums and it seems it takes around 2 minutes to hibernate if you have that much RAM, even with an NVMe. Probably that’s why it’s not recommended, which is understandable. Also it says Redhat 8, so it shouldn’t be older than 5 years.

I checked and it seems Bazzite doesn’t support hibernation out of the box and you need to disable zram if you want to use it. Kinda weird to me but I never used an immutable distro before so maybe it’s related to that.

That’s interesting. I guess I understand now why my 2 GB swap can get filled rather quickly. After I read that FAQ, I delved a little more and found this. Apparently it’s not feasible to use hibernation if you have more than 64 GB RAM, well at least until we got much more faster SSDs it seems.

Not the same but if you’re using KDE on Bazzite, KDE has a restore previous windows option (or something like that). You can use it until find a solution.

Firstly, welcome :)

Secondly, hibernation on Linux requires swap partition 2x size of the RAM. If you didn’t set it big enough or did not set at all, hibernation wouldn’t work. However if you set it correctly, there should be another reason to consider.

If you are not sure, you can use this command on terminal to compare your RAM and swap sizes. free -m

Apparently you can see which devices can wake your PC with cat /proc/acpi/wakeup. S3 should be sleep and S4 hibernation. Though I have no idea which device is which.

Thanks for the Arch Wiki article, really informative! It seems I have both s2idle and deep.

To be fair I don’t always use it like that but suspend is convenient if I have a continuous work that is scattered all around.

Hmm, do you remember which one was it? Personally I never had problems with systemctl suspend or loginctl suspend.

Suspend on Linux just works as well. The PC will sleep until the user wakes it up.

Yeah, update arriving part is not necessary but it wakes the PC up, checks for updates and install them if there are any, does this every night. And if you disabled auto-sleep it just stays like that until you interfere.

There is a thing called wake timers on Windows. There is also Wake-on-LAN but not sure if that’s enabled on default or not.

Thanks for the explanation!

It still does look funny though.

It sure is great. If I remember correctly, there was a Windows 95 error saying “keyboard not found, press F2 to continue.”

GNU’s NOT UNIX though. :)

Anyway, there are terminals that support truecolor (24-bit). You can check here for more information.

It seems so. An average Windows user wouldn’t meddle with those too. I even saw a Windows user who doesn’t know what C or D is, I would guess because the file explorer doesn’t even show drives as default window for a while now.

It’s kinda funny that as a seasoned Linux user, I never had to edit fstab for years. I just use Gnome Disks if I need automount or format a USB drive.
