Fast startup like Windows

If it possible to kill all processes except the base (root processes and DE, etc...) before hibernation as in windows (Fast startup mode) ?
in order to start a new session after hibernation

Sure. "man 7 signal" is your new casual read.

Look into systemd's target isolation as well. Maybe there are a few additional processes you have to clean up, though.

# logout users here
systemctl isolate basic.target
# kill remaining user processes here?
systemctl start default.target

Edit: I missed that you want to keep your xserver/wayland running, so isolate is probably too aggressive for you.

I'd also like to add, that Windows does not hibernate the desktop session, it only hibernates a login screen kind of state.
