I started down the Linux route over the weekend and put my computer in hibernation and couldn't figure out how to wake it up from its torpor without restarting. So I'm going with suspension for the time being
Firstly, welcome :)
Secondly, hibernation on Linux requires swap partition 2x size of the RAM. If you didn't set it big enough or did not set at all, hibernation wouldn't work. However if you set it correctly, there should be another reason to consider.
If you are not sure, you can use this command on terminal to compare your RAM and swap sizes.
free -mI'm sure I'll understand those words eventually. I wasn't sure what the difference was, so just tried hibernation. But I haven't tried any swapping of partitions or partitioning at all, it was just a standard debian install that gave me the option, which I haven't touched since.
Yeah, you will, in time. If I recall correctly, Debian gives 3 options for pre-set partitioning and the first one has just enough swap partition for normal usage, and the others are one with enough for hibernation and one with no swap. As for many things, hibernation is also optional in Linux world.
On Windows, there is something similar to swap called
hiberfil.sys. You can delete that to gain space if you don't need hibernation. However unlike Windows, swap is also useful for things other than hibernation so we usually include it on our installations even if we have RAM more than 16 GB.
