Actually you just have to have a swap partition, which people still set as
more or less the ram size, I think, so all in all it works (especially if
people hibernate without the ram completely used).

I quite never hibernate on my laptop (it wouldn't work anyway since I boot wit
kaslr and have PAX_SANITIZE), but I use hibernation on desktops where suspend
to ram doesn't work because of radeon or nvidia graphic card (actually suspend
usually works, resume doesn't). If/when suspend to ram works fine, I think
hibernation is mostly useless.
