Sleep doesn't require a swap partition (or even swap at all). The memory stays powered on during sleep. Sounds like it was broken for some other reason, which is somewhat surprising since XPS laptops are supported well by Linux in my experience.
- subjectsigma 6y agoI also remembered: fingerprint reader doesn't work any Linux. Given that list of issues I'm surprised you consider them 'well supported'. Do you have a newer model and how is your experience? I would consider buying another XPS in the future if it had better Linux compatibility.
- ac29 6y agoI have a ~2 year old XPS13 thats been pretty flawless, though it was bought as a "Developer Edition" that shipped with Linux (which was replaced with a different distro on day 1). Not sure how much those differ in hardware, but it seemed more or less identical to the Windows versions at the time.
- subjectsigma 6y agoOk, thanks for the input!
