sleep and hibernate work fine on linux. I remember the olden days like 15 years ago where nothing of it worked. contrary to the stupid macos that was forced onto me which sleep means nothing and just keeps draining my bluetooth headphones battery anyway instead of turning off when I tell it to.
I still have issues on two separate machines. One won’t hibernate sometimes, I suspect the nvidia card. The other has a new-ish ethernet card, which doesn’t work after waking from hibernation (unless I reload the kernel module)
Yes. I leave my laptop running in the office overnight, and at the end of the day I have a bunch of note documents, papers, code editors, and corresponding plots open and arranged among multiple monitors. It’s extremely annoying to re-do this setup the next day, so I leave it running. If hibernation worked reliably, I could turn the machine off at the end of the day.

What’s the point of hibernation? You have so much stuff open in some exact state you can’t just turn off the computer?
It takes less time for me to boot fresh than to resume from hibernation (32GB of RAM)
