..............

I miss the days when it was normal to just shut down the pc when you were done with it. Leaving things on all of the time isn't healthy.

It's healthier for the hardware to just leave it running then turning it off and on all the time.

We ain't in the days of mechanical moving parts anymore. Idle time is way less of a problem then power ons.

I'm talking about my health, not the machine's health.

you are replaceable, the machine is not

When I finish what I want to do on my PC, I type โ€œyayโ€ enjoy text and pacmans going left to right, press enter some times, and type sudo pw some times.
After that I reboot to check, that I am not stuck in TTY and turn off after

Fully disagree. Just leave it on, restart it once every 7-10 days if you're using windows. Linux, reboot when it asks, could be months.

I always turn computer off when done, it never sleeps or hibernates, no need since I'm either using it or not, through been leaving it on 24/7 at moment due to wiping some hard drives which takes time, so it's working which is fine ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
