You mean hibernate, not suspend. > It's a confluence of 3 things that have become problematic: > > 1) Systems with a lot of RAM 2) Systems with a smallish SSD 3) > What if a customer installs more RAM themselves? Not much of an issue. You only need enough free swap to hold used ( not by cache ) ram. Generally people don't push memory usage so hard that they go heavily into swap, so they don't have a problem hibernating, even if they have less swap than ram. > Anyway, now that we don't need to worry about suspend, System76 > ships its products with a fixed 4 GiB swap partition, regardless of > what the installed amount of RAM is (or what the maximum > installable amount of RAM is).

Even if people do occasionally use more than 4 GB of ram, they typically don't hibernate while doing so. Being told to close one or two memory hogs before you can hibernate isn't a big deal; certainly better than not being able to do so at all. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJSx3sXAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrwtqgH/17syM/V80yeUoSPMY/O22VC olY0SSCquHn1QIP9w35NZEYRENgLNAEgADQEg3HCoZtZVnH9TOc3Hat4iHZ7Vd2z FzRiFKC+RUvePT9ddzLibH3G5t7D6E2SauS4TTCYLBevLMN6vwmONVMcD/af9ct0 ylxcKkayQD8wu+muUxLIxBV0qxCivIIiju5ELLzyo5jiCXP5BIhoTYXoU3BwPsWa QcY4BivQmiW3JUNSyRkjtzoCPvDrnDAdvRHymCfbNE7NfIHWZdMQdshPMQpT9rUd HdmXbW3JjWFVaMmTKkf7PjRLqgNgtVO5Xh3AevrdYuE2imY3b4B+lJyEW8Uigas= =20fd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
