Is it Windows or BIOS/UEFI option? Will it work on Linux, *BSDs?

  That particular feature is a Windows feature, though there's no reason you theoretically couldn't do something similar on another OS.

  There is also often a UEFI option for a "fast boot" as well, where it skips some steps in its initialization, doesn't wait for any user input or logging to the local console if its coming back from a successful boot/power off cycle. But that's separate from the Windows feature which is related to hibernation. You could have Windows Fast Boot enabled while having your UEFI set to a full boot cycle or vice versa. The UEFI option should work fine with pretty much any OS the hardware should be able to boot.
