I read that the "PC style" power button allows both soft and hard shutdown, so I suppose suspend and hibernate come into the picture as well. It's mostly a matter of OS support, the firmware seems to be there.

According to Jeff Geerling the Pi 5 doesn't support suspend in firmware, altough it might be possible with an update.

> soft and hard shutdown

My reading of that was:

"soft" = trigger an orderly OS shutdown, the same as if you executed `shutdown now` on the command line.

"hard" = cut power immediately, as if you just unplugged the power cable.
