I mean hibernate is a broken mess on Linux, part of the reason Linux as a main driver never quite worked for me.
In what sense is it a broken mess? It's working for me on both my desktop PC and my work laptop. I'm on Linux 7.x (Arch, so always latest release pretty much.) Maybe it isn't working well with older kernels? Or what can be the culprit here?
Maybe it's just Debian based systems, but last I tried (about a year ago), hibernate wasn't provided out of the box and requires some serious work to setup. And that has been an issue for years.
Looking online it seems like secure boot is/was the issue - articles from 2025 seems to imply it may work now, but may require some additional steps to make work.
