I’ve heard a lot of people say your swap should be 2x RAM… but do I really need 32GB of swap?

    Don’t use Ubuntu, but are you sure it removed it and didn’t do the same thing windows does (i. e. hybrid suspend, where it does the same as hibernating, but then enters suspend, so if power is cut you still have your ram preserved)?

      Yes, the default is that you can’t hibernate to disk, I think they changed it back in the 2020 release.

      You can add the needed packages, swap, configure grub, etc. if you want to use hibernate, but it’s not part of the default installation.
