Does hibernating via a swap file work reasonably well yet? I haven't had a chance to try this out yet, but that's the main reason I still have a swap partition on my laptop.

Well done mate - you are the first person to mention this here. It was also only briefly mentioned in the article.

Yes, hibernation does work well and it requires swap. Personally, I set a swap partition equal to RAM + 512MB on systems that I want to hibernate on.

Linux also supports swap files and this might be handy: https://wiki.debian.org/Hibernation/Hibernate_Without_Swap_P...
