    Gather a lot of mint, put it in your cave in a pile, and lay down on it before going to sleep for the winter.

    On Debian, you need to have secure boot disabled in order to hibernate. I’m guessing it works similarly on mint

    Someone can correct me if I’m wrong (I’m only half remembering), but don’t you also need as much swap as you do RAM to hibernate?

      You can get away with less if you don’t hibernate while using a ton of memory. For example, I have 32gb RAM and 16gb swap. If I tried to hibernate while rendering a video, then something would go wrong (IDK what tho. Maybe it would just say ‘no’?). But in most circumstances I’m just using like 8gb and hibernation works just fine.

    Haven’t used Mint in a while, but I think it’s mostly a function of the kernel. IIRC, there’s a nice GUI for selecting what kernel you want on Mint. Would probably only make a difference if you have new hardware and need a newer kernel.

    You need a swap partition the size of your RAM, so if you installed it recently letting the installer do the partitioning you probably have a dynamic swap file and cannot hibernate. You can fix it with parted/gparted, then in fstab you need to add an argument to the line of the swap partition, but I can’t tell you anymore because I switched to Fedora. I found the info on Google anyway, probably the Mint forum.
