One thing that may be worth thinking about: if you take "guided partitioning" then for Bullseye, the default size of swap is 1GB - since very few programs should be hitting swap. If you have a laptop with 8G of memory, then you may well need at least 8G to hibernate - so it is worth checking siazes and requirements as you install. On the laptop next door with 4G of memory but only 32G of flash disk - saving for hibernation would be difficult.
