Linux is tremendously successful. You want to enforce restriction on kernel developers because of "grandma", that's impractical.

  Linux is tremendously successful as server OS. Desktop - not very much, because of "grandma"

    On server and Android, and IoT. Sleep is enough for my laptop. I hardly doubt you are kernel developer yet you "know better". Such people always do.

      One doesn't have to be kernel developer to acknowledge the fact that Linux on desktop is not doing very well. By the way, Linux did well on Android because it is made there with "grandma" in mind.

        Kernel is one of the best parts about Linux on desktop. It works. I've recently tried Windows, annoyed by hibernate, few seconds to wake up but sleep is instantaneous. Linux did well on Android because it does not suck. Mainline kernel boots hundred of models (postmarketOS). Another part mostly unchanged — browser. ChromeOS is Linux kernel and browser. You've said hibernation is a matter ideological purity, no, it is a matter of practicality. You have to be kernel developer to understand practicality.

          >> You've said hibernation is a matter ideological purity I've never said that. I think this conversation is going nowhere, no reason to continue it.
