I have seen this question before What is the difference between Hibernate and Suspend , but I still have some lingering questions about suspending, and hibernating and all the such.

Is there a difference (aside from the naming scheme) between systemctl poweroff and systemctl hibernate? as hibernate seems to actually power off the system after saving the machine state to disk

As far as I am aware, hibernate creates a complete 'image' of the system state that is restored on restart. Poweroff, on the other hand, shuts down the system which includes clearing tmp files and memory caches.
