In openSUSE, which uses systemd (you would need to find the equivalent for your system), there is a file: /etc/systemd/sleep.conf where different options for sleep (hibernate, suspend, etc.) can be set or disabled. You may find something similar in your system that does not use systemd. "freeze" is the equivalent of s2idle. It is purely driven by software and allows you to put your system into a lower power mode: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/states.txt State: Suspend-To-Idle ACPI state: S0 Label: "s2idle" ("freeze") This state is a generic, pure software, light-weight, system sleep state. It allows more energy to be saved relative to runtime idle by freezing user space and putting all I/O devices into low-power states (possibly lower-power than available at run time), such that the processors can spend more time in their idle states. This state can be used for platforms without Power-On Suspend/Suspend-to-RAM support, or it can be used in addition to Suspend-to-RAM to provide reduced resume latency. It is always supported. Personal curiosity: Does anybody know how well Devuan plays with NVIDIA video cards and the proprietary NVIDIA driver? I have had difficulties resuming from hibernate and suspend on a systemd system after installing the proprietary NVIDIA driver, which installs also several sleep/resume scripts.
