Well, it probably still takes a lot of time to shut down, as the whole RAM must be written to disk. This is getting worse as the amount of RAM increases, but it helps that the hard drives/SSDs are getting faster. I don't want to wait a long time between I press the suspend button and the time it is save to pack down the laptop. Bootup will be as fast as suspend though.
The mode could make sense for laptops, but maybe less for desktops with a stable power supply. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882040 Title: should let users enable or disable suspend and hibernate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/882040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
