Every distro and release I've tried has one major issue with kernel hibernation. Upon resume when hibernating large images, there's a residual footprint in swap. Every further hibernation creates a larger footprint, to the order of an additional 5-7% each time. Nobody has ever cared in any forum to explain why or how I might change that.
TOI does not do this and that's why I've been using it on every distro I can for the past 4 or 5 years. I for one would love to see TOI capability added to the mainline to improve functionality and performance. If we can't get all 3 maintained, then 2 that are better would seem to suffice...
