Windows user, still using hibernation. My corpo-Dell has abysmal battery and I definitely don't want to not-hibernate it, nor restart all programs, browsers, terminals etc each time.

It works mostly well. Once every few years I come across some weird issue happening with software X which over time I figure out is linked to software X not handling dehibernation well, but the pros outweigh the cons.

I use hibernate on my windows desktop every night so that I don’t have to deal with the blinking power light that happens when I just put it to sleep.

Hibernate works great on my Windows laptop too, but I wonder if Microsoft disabled it for a good reason. Perhaps the same instability that Linux suffers from, but on fewer models?

I don't see why not, I do that everyday with my laptop. Saves me the trouble of opening up a dozen programs in the morning.
