Ubuntu isn't Arch I think. Average Joe switching away form Windows isn't gonna start learning Arch.

That doesn't happen under hibernate. You used sleep thinking it was hibernate, that's why you had that issue.

I mean, while asleep, the PC blinks its annoying light every second. While hibernating, it doesn't. I'm pretty sure there were no blinky lights, they would have prevented me from falling asleep. It's why I went out of my way to enable hibernating.
Also, see the other posts around the thread. There are absolutely ways to wake up a PC from hibernation. Even from full shutdown.
I'm also running TPM + PIN / FIDO2 unlocking.
Didn't need to fiddle with anything. The most part of this install was going through the manual process of creating filesystems and whatnot.
