I don't know much about Linux, but on Windows Hibernate is really bad.

First, you hibernate each night, because you don't want to close and reopen the programs each time. Very well.

Second, after week or so you get strange problems: context menu not opening, Notepad without "File Edit ..." menu, Paint failing to create an empty document, etc.

Third, in order to get memory/resources back, you need to restart either some of the programs, or the whole operating system.

Maybe, on Linux Hibernate is better. I hope so.
