I use "systemctl suspend" and "systemctl hibernate". This should work on
any systemd-based distribution. For hibernate, I had to add a
"resume=<swap_partition>" line to my kernel boot line pointing to my swap
partition where the suspended memory image is saved, but suspend should
work without any special changes.

I do have to say that hibernate is frequently broken for me on my laptop
with Intel graphics up until recently but has been working nicely on the
4.16.x kernel series.
