You're responding to my text in a quote there. :/
I was only speaking to own my experiences with nvidia and Linux?there
was a warning in the Gentoo wiki about nvidia-drivers and hibernation at
least as far back as 2005. How long it was there before that, I don't know.
I used openSUSE 11.3 with an NVIDIA video card and proprietary driver for
a long time and I was able to hibernate and resume every day for several
months without any problems. (Maybe systemd has made things more
complicated, not to point the finger.)
Before installing the NVIDIA card in my current installation, openSUSE
15.4, I had an old AMD card, HD6450, with the opensource driver. It worked
fine except that when loading a complex xmgrace file the entire X session
would crash.
I have now been using the "freeze" option in TDE to put my desktop into a
low power mode. I think that it turns off the hard disk besides the USB
ports and monitor. However, the case fan keeps spinning at a minimum
speed. It is a Dell Optiplex 780. The fan is quiet but I wished there was
a way to turn it off completely when I put the system into "freeze"
(s2idle) as the CPU is not doing much anyway (and is probably in a low
power mode).
I think that the next system I build will be purely based on Intel
including GPU (the integrated GPU in the Optiplex 780 somehow produced
lower resolution openGL images).
Thanks,

I don't think the proprietary nvidia driver has
played nice with suspend/hibernate
under Linux in any distro at any time in the past twenty years.
As for AMD, they've improved somewhat since the
1990s, since there's
almost no reason to install their proprietary driver over the open-source one
anymore (I think the closed-source one may offer better support for some
bleeding-edge compute stuff, that's all), meaning that the driver most people
use fullly supports both card and kernel. Now, if only it didn't require llvm
to be installed . . .
