SteamOS Has Dropped Support For Suspend

jones_supa writes: As pointed out by a Redditor, it seems that suspending the machine is not officially supported by SteamOS anymore. A SteamOS user opened a bug report due to his controllers being unresponsive after a suspend cycle. To this, a Valve engineer bluntly reported that "suspend is no longer supported". He further explained the issue by saying that given the state of hardware and software support throughout the graphics stack on Linux, the team didn't think that they could make the feature work reliably.

Suspend and hibernate work great for me on Windows... Linux on the other hand requires all sorts of kernel and bootloader changes, plus god forbid you use a lot of memory to start with, and find out half your apps got forcefully terminated because they couldn't fit in swap space.

You're talking out of your ass. I have never seen an application terminated on Linux due to a suspend cycle. Suspend does not require bootloader changes. I strongly suspect that you pulled the "all sorts of kernel" thing out of your ass, and that you have zero experience with suspend on Linux, and quite possibly zero experience with Linux at all (except perhaps on the half dozen embedded devices in your home that run it and you don't even know). Obvious scumsucking troll regurgitating a bag of buzzwords.
