Thank you. So in summary, for me at least, hibernate worked out of the box, well almost. I created a separate swap partition in the usual way during installation, then switched off SecureBoot and then did the above, which in summary for me is: Edit/create /etc/systemd/system/intel_hid-sleep.service file (with sudo) and with these contents: [Unit] Description=Intel HID module unloading to prevent it interrupting hibernation Before=sleep.target StopWhenUnneeded=yes [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=-/usr/bin/rmmod intel_hid ExecStop=-/usr/bin/modprobe intel_hid [Install] WantedBy=sleep.target Then, sudo systemctl enable intel_hid-sleep.service All this on a Dell Latitude 7410. I intend trying this on my wife's newer Dell Latitude 7450 and reporting back on this. Btw, I have never had issues with hibernate on my two older Dell XPS 13s (2013 and 2017) where it installs and works out of the box. Perhaps the older hardware do not have these features/bugs.
