I'm using linux as my desktop (and laptop) system since a very long time.
Basically I never use shutdown, except for a kernel or libc update. I 
just leave my desktop linux running, and either suspend or hibernate my 
laptop.
Depending of the combination of your platform, your distro, and the 
Desktop you're using, you may have available both a "suspend to ram" 
(only if it is a laptop with battery) and a "hibernate" (=suspend to 
disk). But you must pick up a good distro, within the distro select a 
stable and tested version (the latest version is always a lottery), and 
select a good Desktop.
Or you may resort to command-line, which is less subject to Desktop 
environment bugs: depending on distro and kernel you may have available 
/pm-suspend/ and /pm-hibernate/ or /systemctl suspend/ and /systemctl 
hibernate. /If it doesn't wake up properly, you may need to google to 
find out the quirks required for your specific hardware.

As far as Lazarus is concerned, everything relevant is saved each time 
you compile (or attempt to compile) your application. Just hit F9 and 
you're done.
You may easily check and tune your behaviour: if, when trying to quit 
Lazarus, a dialogue shows "Save changes to project xxxx?" it means that 
some changes will be lost by a kill, if it doesn't show, it means that 
all relevant changes have already been saved, and that a kill wouldn't 
do any harm.
