Hi,
i installed the latest release of Kali bare metal on my Razer Blade 13 10th gen. The standard install made only a 2 gig swap partition. With this no hibernate is possible. It worked only after making a new swap partition with a size at least as large as my RAM or larger. Could one change the installer to take care for this or at least give a message reading this? Not easy for a novice to get by. ;)
