It's more of a problem with hardware more interested in coding to "works on Windows" than "complies with spec."
And honestly, Startup is as fast as resume these days - the problem is applications that don't remember last known state and window managers that won't remember the rest. Why don't we fix that instead rather than chasing down all the suspend bugs?
- mbq 15y agoRestoring app last state? Like terminal emulator recreating tmux session wrapping screen session with package manager working under sudo? SSH unHUP-ing processes on remote machine? Python VM resuming all scripts in a precise place and state they were stopped? The problem is that there is no such thing as isolated "application" on Linux or any other real OS.

- javert 15y agoSuspend-to-RAM, as opposed to suspend-to-disk, is way faster than booting. Why chase down suspend bugs? because they are bugs. I'm with you on fixing window managers, generally speaking.
