I think it's actually good to have a forced reboot from time to time, but then I'm not very disciplined in closing stuff I'm no-longer using! Especially like docker containers I was using months ago, that I forgot to shutdown.


Yeah, I agree (with the same unfortunate habit) – but up to twice a day of forced work full stop is overdoing it, too.


Is there no hibernation option ?


You don't get the option in the UI: there's just "Sleep", which on a desktop Mac seems to suspend to RAM only. At least, it seems to on mine, as I found out when I unplugged it.

(Apparently the laptops do a suspend to disk depending on battery remaining, so the OS does support it. It'd be nice to have it available! The disk space required could become annoying if you only bought the 1 TB SSD for your fancy 512 GB Mac though.)


Pretty sure hibernation is dead. Deep sleep states use such nominal power, I think they decided it wasn't worth it.
