I'm super happy with S0 on Linux. The implementation is all about doing as little as possible but effectively remain "on".

What's the point, though? If it doesn't actually do anything, why keep it on?

Because you don't have to reinitialize hardware if you don't shut it off. Which is hard and causes problems. It's easier to just go into power saving++.

If you want your device to be off, power it off.
