I was deciding whether to have my swap partition with hibernation and whether it’s worth it or not.

Have you ever needed to use it or had a situation where it’s useful?

    I find it useful for the times when I need to suspend my computer for a long time. For example, on my laptop, sleep still drains the battery (5-10% a day), so in those cases I like to use hibernate.

    Hybrid-sleep also takes advantage of the swap partition and does both hibernate and suspend at the same time, making your computer resilient to power outages during sleep.
