Best to do an orderly shutdown and reboot when needed, or if it's a desktop enable power saving wherever possible -- including blank screen as a screensaver; it powers down the monitor(s) and unless you set it to lock it comes right back to life if you hit a key or move the pointing device.
The amount of time lost in trying to get suspend/hibernate to work is far in excess of the amount of time one would save if it worked as advertised to begin with. -- dep
Suspend used to work fine for me when using Xfce on here, and I regularly used suspend on Debian. "zzz" (pretty much an alias of "acpiconf -s3" for me) still works as intended if I'm in TDM or a tty. It only happens in the desktop environment.
However, we can scratch suspend. It still freezes from time to time when I'm doing something on the desktop. I actually decided to write this after the freeze happened this morning while I was in the middle of playing a game on Steam.
