Hi Colin
I have 32Gb of swap, with *htop* reporting none used in normal operation.
Suspend works OK. Given the minimal energy consumed overnight on suspend, I
may just continue using that until I can investigate further how
*suspend-then-hibernate* is meant to operate by reading the sourcecode of
*systemctl. *
