Hibernation works just fine on all of my modern x86_64 machines when the
swap space is sufficient. Could you elaborate on why you believe it doesn't?
I am interested too. The only restriction I am aware of is that
hibernation is currently disabled when UEFI secure boot is enabled
(until the hibernation image can be validated with the TPM, IIRC). Has
secure boot become mandatory on all modern x86 machines ? My most recent
one is 10 years old, I'm afraid it does not qualify as "modern".
I agree that in many cases swap causes degraded
performance for modern systems.
Can you explain why unused swap space causes degraded performance ?
I mean, how does 8 GB unused swap is different from 1 GB unused swap ?
It was my naive understanding that performance was affected by swap
activity, not swap size.
