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.
It looks like they say "not recommended" rather than "not feasible".
It's annoying when there's a doc like that without a date on it. That could be 10 years old now, and might not be taking into account NVMe drives.
And yeah, I've been using "restore previous session", but it's annoying because it's not restoring windows in their previous positions on their previous desktops. There is probably a way to enable it to remember previous window positions, but I've been trying to get hibernate working rather than poke at that. Besides, what I really want it to remember is my tmux windows and what they were running. That's really not possible without hibernation / sleep / suspend.
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.
Yeah, I already disabled zram. I was following that web page.
I think the issue is that I need to add resume support to the initramfs. Because it's an immutable distro, I have to do that a bit differently. As for the zram and immutable distro weirdness, I think it's also Bazzite which is designed to work on the SteamDeck and other portable devices. I remember reading something about their sometimes having low amounts of RAM so they do some weird things to make up for it.
Anyhow, I'm going to try it tonight, wish me luck. :)
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! :)
Thanks!
