From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Same for all Linuxes, it's a current limitation of the Linux kernel. There's an open issue about it, essentially working out how to use the TPM to sign the memory dump so that secureboot will accept the signature and load it from disk.
Which means hibernating is currently insecure on Linux as anyone can extract your disk and read the contents of your memory.
Google got around this with ChromeOS, something about user / kernel mode, but I forget how.
