This new 'power off' isn't meant to be a full hibernate. It only stores the kernel-related RAM, not your data. So you would only lose your kernel data, which would be reloaded in the 'full' boot. Full hibernate is still a separate entity (or at least, a part of standby as i'd predict).
This is not a change from now; if you hibernate and then change your hardware, yes, you will lose data.
- mkup 15y agoOK, now I get the idea Still there could be some edge cases - like hibernating filesystem cache as a part of kernel-related RAM , then shutting down, booting Linux, changing the filesystem and then booting windows (which does not know that filesystem pages were changed from outside and working with obsolete copy from cache). This one is a non-issue actually, because Linux ntfs-3g driver deletes hiberfil.sys when mounting NTFS partition in R/W mode, but there could be other edge cases like this one.
- mkup 15y ago... A firmware upgrade, for example. Or some jumpers changed.
