Now if I can only figure out why this damn machine won't resume from hibernation properly. Windows can do it, so I'll bet it's a configuration issue somewhere.
Hibernation is disabled when UEFI Secure Boot is enabled. And even if
disabled, which I don't recommend, there are ACPI bugs galore. I don't
know how Windows works around them. But it also does seem Microsoft,
Apple and hardware vendors are focusing on S0 low power idle (and
variations on that theme). Another idea is for the desktop to have
some way of saving state but there's no single API that apps can use
to do that.

This surrender to making hibernation work is one of the most shameful
decision on Fedora side.
The listed alternatives are laughable: how can "keep the machine on (with S3 or S0)"
be an alternative to "power off the machine"?
I'm personally using hibernation sometimes when the battery will not
last enough for S3 or when I want to come back to my system after
booting something else (including exchanging a disk, for example).
The "it may be broken, let's avoid it" approach is definitely in contrast
to the "we are enabling it so bugs can be found" that we have heard for many
problematic and disrupting new features.
