- jpc0 3y agoModern hardware... Also hitting shutdown on your windows PC does not shut it down, it effectively puts it into hibernation. The comment above is chasing the wind, just shutdown your PC if you want it off. If you dont then put it to sleep, modern hardware sleep state is effectively off from a power consumption point of view.
- NikkiA 3y agoThe idea is that modern windows (10,11,12) boot fast enough through various tricks that booting is faster - or as fast as - awaking from hibernation. TBH It's probably not wrong, I wouldn't know because for some unknown reason my motherboard sits doing nothing for over a minute before starting the POST. Once it's past that, I can be at a linux prompt in 20 seconds, or at the windows login within 40, depending on whether I interrupt rEFInd
