How can I speed up hibernation on Linux like Windows?
Asked by

I've noticed that hibernation on my Linux system takes about 2 minutes to complete, while on Windows it's around 10 seconds. I started using Linux in 2021, and I found hibernation really handy, especially when I wanted to switch classes quickly without losing my work. My current setup includes an 18GB swap partition and 16GB of DDR5 RAM. Does anyone know how to make Linux hibernation faster?

You could try using the suspend then hibernate command. It keeps your session in RAM first and then saves it to the hard drive later, which could speed things up for you.

On Windows 11, hibernation is really optimized because it’s basically a quick semi-hibernation instead of a full shutdown. Linux has a more thorough hibernation process. There might be ways to tweak it, though.

Have you considered using suspend instead of hibernation? It's definitely faster and might suit your needs better for quick transitions in class.
