Currently, Pop!_OS Cosmic does not have hibernation enabled by default, requiring manual configuration after installation. Hibernation is a powerful feature that saves the entire system state, including all open applications and workspaces, to disk. This allows users to power off their machine completely and later resume their work exactly where they left off.
Proposed Solution
During the OS setup process, include an option for users to opt-in to enable hibernation by default. If selected, the installation process should configure the necessary settings to activate hibernation, ensuring that it is available and functional out-of-the-box.
Benefits
Preserves Workspace: Saves the workspace with all apps and open states, providing a seamless experience when resuming work after powering off the system.
Enhanced User Experience: Provides an easy way to enable hibernation without manual setup.
Flexible Power-Saving Options: Offers more flexibility in power-saving options during installation.
User-Friendly: Aligns with user expectations for a feature-rich and user-friendly operating system.
