Your mileage may vary.

But you also need as much space on the HDD to store the RAM content,
which I don’t really do.

Neither do I. I do not use hibernation at all.

My point was just stating the fact that it could be useful under some
environments/setups regardless the amount of installed memory.

OK, then that would belong into the OT realm for this particular thread.

This is why on systems with lots of RAM there is no gain in speed by
hibernating vs. restarting + session saving.

I have 8 GiB of ram and a cold start takes some minutes :-)

Booting to the login screeen takes ~35–40 seconds here. Plus another
half minute to load the DE. Usually I am using normal standby (aka
suspend to RAM). Powerdevil has no function to disable that feature,
which is why I want to disable it one level down in the hierarchy.

You mean disable at BIOS level? :-?

Well, on my old Gentoo system - naturally with my own, laptop-optimised
kernel - I only had Sleep available in Powerdevil, so I figured that the
kernel has to (not) support it for the button (not) to show up. I just
never bothered finding out how to get S2D working.

[...] KDE should not trigger power savings unless you configure for doing
so. What you can do is hide/remove the icon

No, I _can't_. That's the whole reason for my asking here. There is no
option to hide the button. I've attached a tiny screenie where you can see
the problematic combo box and the hibernation (Tiefschlaf) button right
underneath.

I'm still not clear why you cannot just remove it.
