I use Ubuntu btw. Poweroff could use more write cycles on the SSD because it has to read everything at startup, but suspend has to keep supplying power to the RAM

    Isn’t neoprene a synthetic material?

    My husband also uses the power button to power off his PC. I didn’t even know it was a thing until he asked me to do it for him at some point and I was very confused. He’s on Windows. I didn’t know this worked on Linux as well (though I know it’s a thing on laptops). Is there a way to configure what it does (on PC) like it does on laptops?

      Ah, fucking auto correct

      Should have read: my nephew ;⁠-⁠)

      Edit: and regarding your question:
      Yeah, there some power management tools/deamons to configure in Linux, how to handle what.
      Depends a bit on your distribution/environment, which tools are available - or make sense to be installed

      IIRC in the UEFI (aka BIOS), there’s usually a setting to dictate what a tap of the power button does—usually sleep, hibernate, or power off.

      Try tapping F10, F12, or Del during early startup to get into the UEFI setup
