I don’t really think that hubernating is worth it when you have gobs of RAM and a lot of data and state in it. The sheer time it’s going to take each time even with an NVMe drive, blergh.

Now that batteries are decent and S3 on Linux is good, I don’t bother with anything else. I reboot/power off my machines on a regular basis to make sure the things I need persisted are, in fact, persisted and everything will be brought up again.

So I was quite surprised to find resume= pointing to my swap partition in my /proc/cmdline after a default install.
