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.

However, my problem is not resumption, but more than like my dog who was too smart to go fetch twice (if you are going to throw it away, why should I be expected get it back for you?), it only blinks and refuses to go down and hibernate from the second time after boot. > > > > Would using > > > > sudo dracut -a resume -f > > > > address this problem?
