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.
My desktop gets powered off because I don’t use it often and it sucks a lot of energy and is loud.
My Steam Deck gets suspended when I’m not using it because that’s usually in the middle of a game and I don’t want to hear the game sounds all the time or accidentally do something.
My laptop is running 24/7. At night I use it to listen to science videos to help me sleep. And in the day I watch stupid YouTube videos to help me cope with life.
Not to mention the steam deck has a weird bug on it that if you leave it powered off for too long, for some reason it decides to just not turn on anymore unless you hook it to power. Super annoying because it will turn on and say something like 80 or 90% power, but the button won’t actually boot the system unless it has a power hookup. I’ve on a few occasions had to use reverse power charge from my phone to the deck to trick it into booting on the go. Once you hear the beep saying its turning on you can unplug it. Weirdest thing
I think that has something to do with battery storage mode flipping on iirc.
