From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had an issue recently where my new PC build would not shut down. It would power itself back on on every shutdown immediately.
Checked the bios and found that I had Wake on PCIe (something like that) enabled. Soon as I disabled it, I was able to shut down my PC.
My assumption is that I was shutting down my PC and my monitor still being on was causing my Asus mobo to see it as a turn on event.
All “Wake on” things are disabled in my UEFI settings.
To be sure, I also reset the UEFI to have “clean” settings, but that didn't help, unfortunately.
