I have been going strong for 34 days and 5 hours.

    When I had big desktop and all, it was running for days/months. Now, I have a miniPC and I start it up Monday morning and shut if down Friday afternoon.

    It’s off at the moment. I turn it off whenever I’m not using it for security reasons, and also just noise reasons so the fan doesn’t bother me. It boots relatively quickly so I’m unbothered.

    I’ve never had a Windows machine that can stay on longer than ~3 days before developing weird behaviour so it’s off right now until I get home.

    I have a well-fenced server that I inherited 20 years ago and, but for power outages, has been in operation throughout. It survived a p2v but will not survive the coming v2v. #rhel4 #vmscare

    My Arch system stays on until a firmware package needs an update. Then i cry and scream bc it’s only been a month since the last one. Also I just updated a bunch of those, so my system has not been on long.

    I turn it off every night when I’m done. It boots quickly and I mostly just use it for the web browser and steam.

    My work computer (Mac) I put to sleep because I don’t always want to open all the terminals and IDE and such every time.

      I know right I do the same but for my home pc it’s easier to get into the groove when it’s all in front of you in 3 seconds

        Doesn’t seem to matter what I do, the card simply refuses to go to sleep. And there’s no option to switch it off in the bios 😭

      I can go weeks without rebooting if I want to Using a gtx 1080Ti with it. No idea why so many folks still have these big issues. Some minor issues sure.

    People leave their PC on constantly? I understand leaving servers running but i always turn my PC on in the morning, then off at night once im finished.

      This would be me, except the wife says it’s “wasting energy.” And rather than argue with her I’ve decided that in an effort for the dream of “happy wife, happy life” I’ll just deal with sub 1min boot time
