hello i want this hibernate option like in opensuse/steam os when i try googling it i cannot find anything
Here is the official fedora guide

This worked for me you just need to be careful to use your wi-fi device. I have a 2022 G15 which has the same wifi chip so for me, even though I don’t have a Framework, it worked exactly as described in the guide.
I’ve tried to get hibernation working on like 3 different distros. Followed tutorials exactly step by step. Never works.
Linux doesn’t do hibernation. Anybody who says otherwise is not living in the same universe as me.
how come opensuse has that button
Last time I had openSUSE hibernation didn’t work. I am just convinced that the entire linux community is gaslighting me about hibernation lol
oh
how come opensuse has that button
Having that button doesn’t automatically result in that feature actually working. The development stakeholders don’t seem to be interested in it actually working other than chance and given that even Windows and macOS moved to “always connected” suspend instead of full sleep with hibernation, I don’t see a push for feature parity on the horizon (that’s why Windows laptops and more recently also MacBooks often cannot wake up because the battery is depleted). It’s really bad and IMO one of the few big problems to solve (at least on my Windows notebook because of its broken regular suspend, I can force it into hibernation).
I had somewhat decent success making a swap file (not a partition):
sudo fallocate --length 16600MiB /swapfile;sudo chmod 600 /swapfile;sudo mkswap /swapfile;sudo swapon /swapfile;sudo nano /etc/fstab
Then add
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
the fstab file now open in Nano.
I used Hibernation in the past (years ago), but nowadays I don’t. It also depends on the BIOS configuration and probably the motherboard. There was a period (on a different distribution and probably something different hardware, can’t remember details) when the Hibernation did not work. I mean Hibernation to suspend to disk and shutdown PC entirely. I’m actually curios if it works for me right now and will test it. :-)
Edit: Ah okay, it can’t work for me, because I set a very small swap. Never mind.
