When my battery is critically low, Solus hibernates, but after I plug in my laptop, everything seems frozen and slow/laggy. I have to force my laptop off by holding the power button and restarting and fortunately none of my Firefox tabs get lost. When I was on Linux Mint, it restored from Hibernation much better. Maybe this is happening because I installed Solus 2017.01.01.0 originally ? Can this be fixed by applying updates or would I have to reinstall Solus ?

I manually pressed Hibernate now and after my laptop turned off and I pressed the power button, it started again normally as though I had shut down. It should have shown a message saying "resuming from hibernate" or similar and shown System Monitor and Firefox open after I entered my password.
We've sinec then had several and also a major update to mate, is this still largely an issue or is it resolved?
Yes it's still broken with Mate 1.20 and all updates installed. In power management settings I changed it to suspend when critically low on battery so that my session is saved until I plug into a power source.
Also when I set "When battery power is critically low" to Suspend like this:
I see this when it's about to suspend:
And when I woke from suspend, everything was slow and I had to force shut down my laptop.
And I think the " <br><b>NOTE:</b> " is meant to make part of that notification text bold ? I guess that's a Mate bug.
I installed Solus 3 Mate on my new ThinkPad E480 and hibernate doesn't work when I click it manually.
It just looks like the screen gets locked.
In Solus3 era I experienced a bug with Live USB install where setup program would fail to initialize swap partition, and this partition is where memory content is "hibernated". To make hibernate work I had to do one time fix: swapon and add kernel parameter resume=UUID=swap-parttion-uuid. @mate-user, If your install is that old root cause of your problem may well be missing/unused swap partition, like I used to have. If you never fixed swap partition manually, fresh install of Solus4 will definitely help.
This is a very long thread, and I haven't read every message, but is it possible your swap is using a file instead of a partition? I'm pretty sure I've inadvertently told a machine to hibernate that did not have a swap partition defined, and it did, but it was very slow.
