Actually my LinuxPC also wakes up from sleep ramdomly. Damn you nvidia...

I'm bottom even when I used windows because I turn it the hell off when I'm not using my computer.

Accurate. Because mine won't turn on anymore after sleeping.

As sucky as modern Windows is, all you have to do to avoid this bullshit is to shut down the pc at night or whenever you're not using it. That being said, half the time Windows updates, it tries to sucker me into subbing for Microshart 365.

fun story, i almost went crazy for troubleshooting why my desktop (mint cinnamon) often wouldn't autosuspend or even turn off the monitor.

after a good half a year it turned out to be three different issues. autosuspend and monitor were two separate issues in cinnamon that i found a workaround for, and i also found out from the log that something wakes it up every now and then. at first i thought my cats stomp on the keyboard, but they avoid touching it. what actually happens is that when my other cat hops off my chair, static electricity wakes the pc up...

Open terminal, run shutdown /s /t 0.

That should do a complete shutdown that windows can't wake itself up from.

Nvidia users having to shutdown anyway because the computer will hang when trying to put it to sleep:

Just shut it off when you arent using it like a normal person.
