Not exactly as funny meme as I would like it to be, but I just found out about that feature after having to hold the power button due to a frozen system countless times, and I had to tell someone.

Just decrease your swap space.
Unless you have an unusual system, there's no reason to have several GB of swap.
that won't solve the system unresponsiveness
Have you tried?
Because it does.
yes, even turning swap off entirely doesn't solve it. It doesn't take much to find people reporting a similar experience.
Better enable swap again. Linux expects swap.
or fiddle with the vm/swappiness value
Is hibernate no longer a thing? I thought that needed swap.
Actually, not much.
It always had reliability issues with bad hardware, and computers boot incredibly quickly nowadays. But yeah, it requires swap, and if you want it, there's a sibling answer here about sawppiness.
