Question Suggested approach to suspend a laptop: about RAM's time life effect

[Manuel Jordan]

Hello Friends

For a laptop with Linux Ubuntu Desktop installed with 16GB.

When the OS is send to "suspend" (systemctl suspend) and is wake up when the laptop's lid is opened

According with your experience and knowledge

When the laptop is send to suspend, is wise have the RAM free as possible?, I mean have all the most "heavy" programs closed. For example 2G/16GB

or Does it not matter? Therefore suspending the laptop with either 8GB/16GB or 12GB/16GB

My concern is about if is suspended the laptop with a good amount of RAM: it would affect the time life of the RAM itself

Just in case the RAM are Kingston

Thanks in advance

In my dozen or so personal laptops, and literally hundreds of corporate laptops over the years....I have never seen that happen.
Not once.

You're chasing a problem that simply does not exist.

Really a valuable feedback. Thank You

I see, but has nothing wrong in do a check about that.

Thus if a laptop is suspended for many hours or even for a couple of days as a weekend: and with the scenario of 12GB/16GB, does not matter. Right?

Thank You
