From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does it also restore the content of unsaved files of the application? If not, I'll prefer
systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for. Gnome had it in the past, MacOS has it, but I don't see what the use case is.That's up to the application.
I believe this is for storing the position of specific windows, for multi-window applications (e.g. GIMP's multi-window mode). So hibernation is very unrelated.
I see, I thought is was meant for restoring programs after login. Thx, for the clarification.
