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

    Depends on what you run on your system, but when my system idles my cpu is at literal 0%, ram at 600mb and disk usage is 0% (nvme), which ends up my total power usage to about 3W on idle or something like.

    It’s a laptop so doesn’t use a lot.
