It's important to remember desktops are the main issue here. I don't
think it's a big ask that if you have a machine with an Nvidia card then
we require $gigabytes of disk space to be reserved. Alternatively we can
just inhibit suspend in the case that insufficient space is available
just-in-time.

For the laptop use case where Nvidia is the secondary GPU it's less
likely any Nvidia GPU memory is in use at all (though don't forget
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3550). Because most apps
will be running on the primary (integrated) GPU by default, and all of
the shell will be too. So then it's just an app corruption issue and not
whole shell corruption.

Overall the edge cases sound pretty good to me. Imagine the percentage
of bug reports here that will be eliminated by having suspend/resume
working for most people most of the time.
