My brother jokes about this referring to me, but lately he has been noticing the power of Linux and FOSS, he switched to Lichess from Chess.com and immediately noticed the benefits and how the are totally worth the downsides.
He also noticed how quick my system is, and how cool is that I can hibernate my laptop.
I just hope my efforts make them all switch (at least their personal computers) to Linux at some point.
It’s there, by default. You don’t have to set it up. If you want it to behave a certain way, it’s a few clicks. If you wanted, you could script it via powershell, command line (batch), or a reg file.
I’ve never met anyone who’s changed the defaults, other than me, and I’ve been supporting Windows since before it was what most people know as Windows (ever seen Windows 1?)
Ah, great then. I meant to set up a swap partition (and its size), and all that. I just wanted to know how could one do it because I want to teach my family to hibernate the computer instead of regular suspend on their computers. I’ll look it up, thanks!
You can add the setting to hibernate to the normal power menu and also make it automatically hibernate when they press the power button/close the lid etc. from somewhere in the power settings. So if they just press the power button or whatever you can make it automatically hibernate instead of dealing with trying to teach family a new thing lol.
Windows suspend is now hibernate, or something, or Poweroff with fastboot is hibernate. I forget. There was a time when their terms meant the thing it did, but they actually switched things around. If you need a full power off for hardware reasons its a restart, because power off doesn’t do a true power off any more. Something to that effect

I’m as much a Linux fan as you, but windows computers also hibernate without issue
I just want real S3 sleep back, Windows or Linux… “modern standby” blows
I guess so, but can one set it up from the installer? Asking geniunely.
What do you mean set it up from the installer?

My Linux laptop hibernates just fine…
