What Windows have been doing the last couple years is they moved from regular sleep to some poorly implemented standby mode that works more like a phone does where it still runs just very power efficiently and still does stuff in the background. Macs have been doing that for a long time except they actually did it right so it doesn't suck.
Linux doesn't support it yet so you'll get classic stop the world sleep anyway, but either way it'll always be customizable even when connected sleep gets implemented.
I know I'm showing my age with this comment, but when I don't use my computer, I turn it off.
Difference with laptops and desktops.
Work laptops I almost never turn off. Hibernation is better because being able to save 10 minutes getting everything set back up is valuable.
Desktop gets turned off when I plan to not use it for a while.
Server is always on except for updates.
Woof. I do not miss this part of windows, not even a little. When I boot fedora I have to type in the pass to unlock the drive, the pass to unlock my user acct, and the pass to unlock my external drive, and it still takes like 1/3rd of that time, even if I then immediately open 4 programs and start downloading, browsing, terminaling, whatever, still faster than 10min to get up and running.
