[Bug Untu <1904153@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

There is an article about What happens when I suspend my computer?

https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/power-suspend.html.en

This article contains no information about what happens when I suspend
the computer.

The current explanation is "computer will sleep" - this is wrong.

A computer can not sleep. 
A human or an animal can sleep. 

I expected some more non-symbolic, non-childish explanation about what
happens in Ubuntu when suspend is selected on the logout dialog box.
Especially I wanted to know if a harddisk is needed, if I need a swap
space, if only ram is used and so on.

Yes, of course I wanted to know more about that because in 2020 Ubuntu
still has problems with suspend - this is so sad.

I suggest writing some more technically detailed explanation about what
really happens when "I suspend my computer".
