Since suspend to disk ("hibernate") requires swap, I'm
pretty sure we should
recommend it by default for workstation. In order to make this as close to
100% reliable as possible, this really should be as big as RAM -- but in
practical use (I dunno, 99% of the time?) it only needs to fit what's
actually used so can be much smaller.
Blivet code has swap = mem + swap when hibernation=True, so for anything with less than
64GB RAM swap is effectively 2x RAM. [1] However, blivet has hibernation=False so we get
1x which sometimes isn't enough. Further, anaconda doesn't set resume= boot
parameter. So we're not currently configured to support suspend to disk as far as I
can tell.
