-blank screen for another minute
-computer finally powers off
linux:
-press button
-(terminal mode only) prints out services its turning off and what its doing
-computer is off within 2-5 seconds every time
wtf windows?
Who shuts down computers any more? Just put them in sleep or hibernate. It's not just for laptops, it works fine on desktops.
You come right back to where you were without any long boot process, then starting all your programs, etc.
What long boot process lol get a SSD already.
Also think about the environment if everyone left their computers to hibernate we'd need a lot of energy :anprim-pat:
the whole point of hibernation is that it uses the same amount of energy as when the computer is shut off
everything in RAM gets written to the disk and then loaded back into RAM when your computer boots next time
