But now with zram0, do we no longer need a swap partition? If so, how is hibernate supposed to work? There is a lot of discussion online: it appears that things changed around F38 and even later, and also I do not seem to be able to land an official fedora document regarding what to do.

Any suggestions on how to do this? You don't need a swap partition (or swap file) for suspend, but you certainly do need it for hibernation. With no swap on secondary storage, there's nowhere to keep the saved image once power has been turned off, since Zram is a compressed swap partition in RAM. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
