I've downloaded and installed the newest version of Linux mint cinnamon, everything is working fine and all and I am almost convinced about switching to it over completely although I am still ignorant about it, however I have ran into one problem, when I first installed it, I was able to hibernate with my laptop, but now after using it a few times, i can only "suspend" the hibernate option is gone, I tried to hibernate through the terminal with no luck, my friend said it had to do with not enough space to save my last place left off partitioned to it? but I am not exactly sure what to do or where to start

Makes sense if there is not enough partition space for the o/s to write a hibernation file to that it will read upon power up, how large is the partitioned drive you installed it on? A clue that it worked at first is that there may have been just enough space for it to write, but now as you are using disk space filling it up with files, pix, music, etc that in fact it did shrink to a point where hibernation cannot work.

Or if the swap partition isn't big enough, and the script tries to rescue things by writing a file to one of the main partitions. Then.. things could happen.
