Already discussed in the 'support hibernation' thread.
Most laptops today have UEFI Secure Boot enabled by default and
therefore hibernation isn't possible. And even when the laptop doesn't
have Secure Boot enabled, there's a forest of bugs. It works for some
people and not others. It was working for me on one laptop in
February, consistently doesn't work now and I haven't gotten a reply
yet from upstream about the problem.
It may be true that most laptops have "Secure Boot" enabled, but not those
running Fedora. We don't have numbers to support that claim, and most devices
require "Secure Boot" to be disabled, or to have the mode changed so that it
accepts new keys, to install Fedora.
