Is the joke that hibernate and sleep states never seem to work right?

    No its an antimeme. The joke is that everybody gotta turn it on.

    sleep and hibernate work fine on linux. I remember the olden days like 15 years ago where nothing of it worked. contrary to the stupid macos that was forced onto me which sleep means nothing and just keeps draining my bluetooth headphones battery anyway instead of turning off when I tell it to.

    Every few updates my Pop_OS! suspend would break (sleep and not wake, or sleep and wake immediately). I could never figure it out beyond knowing NVIDIA was the source. Worked around it by swapping my graphics card to a comparable AMD card-- now my machine sleeps like a baby.

    Absolutely not. Nvidia GPUs and some network cards can and will break sleep on Linux. It's currently very much broken on my machine and I stopped trying to fix it. Up until a few days ago the PC failed to properly power down to a sleep state and would leave a whole bunch of things powered up, like the monitor and the fans and the lights. Now it's even worse. On top of all that, the computer goes right back into sleep seconds after it wakes up. Extremely annoying.

    I use arch btw.

    It was mostly because of Nvidia drivers. So many Linux issues is just Nvidia related.

    Bs, I have had so many sleep issues on laptops without Nvidia graphics cards.

    The most recent issue I had was something inhibiting sleep that I couldn't disable.

    Before that it was being unable to decrypt the hibernate data on an encrypted disk.

    You'd still need to turn it on if it's in hibernate. Well, you might not need to push the power button, might have a laptop that can, while off, key off the lid switch. But the laptop's still off when it's hibernated.

    Despite OP insisting otherwise, I'm gonna assume you are correct. I use a lot of flavors of linux for a lot of things, but I don't have it on a laptop (other than as an alt boot in case of a crash), so it seems logical to me that's why this joke went over my head.
