My set-up is roughly analogous to this: https://community.frame.work/t/guide-fedora-36-hibernation-with-enabled-secure-boot-and-full-disk-encryption-fde-decrypting-over-tpm2/25474

Summary is that I use full-disk encryption (FDE) and use the TPM to decrypt the swap, and use full lockdown mode with a kernel patched to allow hibernation.

Suspend-then-hibernate (in my opinion) is a must-have feature for a laptop that goes in a backpack – if I close my laptop’s lid and put it in my backpack, I expect it to both not overheat, and to have some amount of battery left regardless of when I decide to take it out again.

Anyway, does anyone have it working well, or any other tips?

One thing I’ve been toying with is using a systemd script to drop the filesystem caches before hibernating to have it resume faster.

    Suspend-then-hibernate

    That’s something over which I used to be very jealous of Windows laptops 😕 But that was years ago…now my aging 3.2kg ThinkPad is just a “stationery” workstation!
