   How does Linux move from an awake machine to a hibernating one? How does it then manage to restore all state? These questions led me to read way too much C in trying to figure out how this particular hardware/software boundary is navigated.

     @fredbrooker Both Linux and macOS achieve faster boot times by starting all services in the background. Some serious engineering work goes into it, for sure. I believe there is some work done recently for FreeBSD 14, too.
