My device isn’t capable of running fedora or win11 in a virtual machine. I have to switch between windows and fedora for different purposes, but I wish that all the apps that were opened in fedora before switching are there when I switch back to fedora, (I don’t care about windows).
This is my partition table:
I don’t have a swap partition, but I guess it could also be done by creating a swap file.
Edit: I have secure boot on.
Please provide instructions in a beginner friendly way.
Please avoid posting images – they are often unreadable on low-res laptop screens (such as the one I’m using now) and can’t be discovered in web searches. In terminal, run sudo df -lht (sizes in powers of 1024) or df -lHt (sizes in the vendor-advertising sizes in powers of 1000) (post as pre-formatted text using the </> button at the top of the text entry panel).
Please post the output from running inxi -Fzxx in a terminal so we can understand your hardware.
In the past, it has been possible to hybernate Linux and Windows, but I have a dual boot Fedora and Windows, but I’m not sure that still works. I have a dual boot system, but only use Windows 11 when reporting issues with PDF documents to authors who are using Windows. Windows 11 appears to hybernate when rebooting multiple times to install updates, and then when updates are “done” (usually another updates comes along next time I use Windows 11) the next boot goes directly to Windows, so the system is hybernated and does not give an option to boot anything else. I use “Windows Settings System Rescue” to boot Fedora, and after that I can use the systems UEFI configuration to move Fedora back to the top of the list. This may be vendor-dependent (I have a Dell that was shipped with Windows 11) – it does make sense for cubicle farms using Windows.
As you have security boot enabled, this line from man kernel_lockdown may be relevant
Unencrypted hibernation/suspend to swap are disallowed as the kernel image is saved to a medium that can then be accessed.
How to create an encrypted swap space to hibernate to, is beyond my knowledge.
You may also find this line when running journalctl -k | grep lockdown
