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

    That was my reaction, to the question, too.

    I’m not sure what power down options my current (Linux) OS has. I just let the battery die sometimes like a normal person.

    Edit: The battery management defaults are so good, I have to forget about it on a shelf for several days before it - well I don’t know what it does, because I’m ingoring it. Maybe it powers down, maybe it suspends, maybe it does some kind of emergency shut down…
