Someone can correct me if I’m wrong (I’m only half remembering), but don’t you also need as much swap as you do RAM to hibernate?
You can get away with less if you don’t hibernate while using a ton of memory. For example, I have 32gb RAM and 16gb swap. If I tried to hibernate while rendering a video, then something would go wrong (IDK what tho. Maybe it would just say ‘no’?). But in most circumstances I’m just using like 8gb and hibernation works just fine.
I still follow the old twice-your-ram rule; 128GiB swap for meeeeeeee
Gather a lot of mint, put it in your cave in a pile, and lay down on it before going to sleep for the winter.
On Debian, you need to have secure boot disabled in order to hibernate. I’m guessing it works similarly on mint
Same for all Linuxes, it’s a current limitation of the Linux kernel. There’s an open issue about it, essentially working out how to use the TPM to sign the memory dump so that secureboot will accept the signature and load it from disk.
