Edit: downvote all you want but frequent power cycling DOES reduce the life span of capacitors over time more than just leaving it in a low power or hibernation state, and also generates rapid thermal changes in components that puts more stress on them.

I always turn off my computer when I’m done. I like to get a fresh boot
+1 to linux - windows requires a reboot *by default these days to get a fresh boot, go figure.
My machine’s boot time is pretty fast because of Linux.
Wake from sleep will always be faster, regardless of the OS.
I was pointing out that a “fresh boot” on windows isn’t what people think it is any more *by default
You can just turn off fast startup if you care that much. Generally there isn’t a reason to do that though.
Even without fast boot, this is what Windows does. Shutdown = hibernate, restart = fresh boot 🤷♂️
Do you mean quick boot? Because that can be disabled.
That’s more taxing on the hardware over time

Uuuh, I’m pretty sure 13s of CPU time is not that taxing on the hardware.
