Re: Can't hibernate Toshiba laptop

This may be a bit off-topic, but I have a question for Pierre: Are you
using KDE Plasma or is Debian Stretch the only commonality between your
situation and that of Leonel?


I'm just curious because I want to find out if I would have the same
problem with running Debian on a laptop. I use the GNOME DE and I'm
running it on a desktop, so I don't yet have that issue, but I want to
know if I might when I buy a laptop on which I will install Debian.
