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.

This, so much this. I also run Fedora.
I can't just close the lid and put it in my bag without worrying.
Honestly, most times of I'm not actively working on something, I just shut it off completely before packing it away. It starts plenty fast, and at least I know I'll actually have battery when I need it. Instead of finding it dead or at 10%. So annoying.
Tbh even if they figure it out (and they should, not everyone is me) I probably won't use it often, I like the extra layer of security having to type my LUKS pass to unlock the FDE then my User pass, just in case. Plus as you noted it starts plenty fast already at under 30sec, it's not a 5min boot like windows on my old laptop.
Same, also on Fedora. I deal with it by using hibernate (which is sweet until a kernel update borks it)
I looked into it, but I didn't want to mess with rpmostree anymore than I need to, since I'm on bluefin. I'm really digging the forced stability.
I recently learned that the option to hibernate goes away when Fedora is booted with SecureBoot. It was surprising to me, and might be good to know for you, that's why I'm mentioning it.
This is definitely worth mentioning. You apparently can get it working with a dedicated encrypted swap partition (which I admittedly haven't tried) but I just turned off secureboot. The risk/convenience tradeoff is worth is for me.
That's not what I ready unfortunately. When booted in secureboot, the kernel enters lockdown mode which disables all hibernation, regardless of the swap being encrypted or plain text.
It seems there are two kernel patches available to enable hibernation in lockdown mode, but not in mainline.
This one is more of an admin override, where you take the risk of root replacing the swap contents

And this one is complicated but uses the TPM to ensure only the kernel, not root, can write the hibernation image in a way that causes it to be trusted on waking, so there is no reduction in assurance compared to clean booting a signed kernel with secureboot:

But that's all too much for me, I intend to turn it off again.
