I think a lot of people are still stuck in the HDD days where windows could take 15-20 mins for a cold boot.

But I only sleep windows because I like to get game updates while I sleep.

boot hardly takes any time at all. it’s all the programs on the computer that take forever to start.

Ctrl shift esc. Turn off start on boot up programs that you don’t want to start.

… that just means your computer is useless when you start it up. And anyway I’m talking about things like your browser with previous tabs or your IDE.

Look, I used to work with computers that would take 5 minutes to turn on. I’m done waiting for computers to boot, I want it to take the least time it can. If hibernation takes just 1 second off, I’m gonna use it.
