First of all, our computers are always on. Those kernels don't compile themselves, three times a day. Secondarily we could, at least, turn our machines on without having to install a dozen of updates before having to reboot again.
I knew there had to be a different reason for global warming. Linux users don't turn off their computers, thats why!
If systems that run Linux were to power down, that's it for almost all of the internet.
My Ubuntu server has about 3 years of uptime right now, I don't get this mΓ©mΓ©
Ubuntu doesn't count. It's not a real Linux.
Do you use arch by the way?
No, heretic. I'm more the orthodox kind of defender of the faith.
TempleOS, I presume?
Heretic?? Hahahahahahahaha!!!
Orthodox... I'm guessing vanilla Debian or Gentoo.
Have you livepatched the kernel though?
Is the joke that hibernate and sleep states never seem to work right?
No its an antimeme. The joke is that everybody gotta turn it on.
sleep and hibernate work fine on linux. I remember the olden days like 15 years ago where nothing of it worked. contrary to the stupid macos that was forced onto me which sleep means nothing and just keeps draining my bluetooth headphones battery anyway instead of turning off when I tell it to.
I still have issues on two separate machines. One won't hibernate sometimes, I suspect the nvidia card. The other has a new-ish ethernet card, which doesn't work after waking from hibernation (unless I reload the kernel module)
Every few updates my Pop_OS! suspend would break (sleep and not wake, or sleep and wake immediately). I could never figure it out beyond knowing NVIDIA was the source. Worked around it by swapping my graphics card to a comparable AMD card-- now my machine sleeps like a baby.
It was mostly because of Nvidia drivers. So many Linux issues is just Nvidia related.
Bs, I have had so many sleep issues on laptops without Nvidia graphics cards.
The most recent issue I had was something inhibiting sleep that I couldn't disable.
Before that it was being unable to decrypt the hibernate data on an encrypted disk.
Mine works
?
But by the time the lid is up to reach the power button, it's already out of sleep and operationalβ¦
Lucky you! Mine just crashes when I try to enter Sleep mode leaving both screens on and frozen, and nothing at all working.
I remember when windows used to brag about incredibly fast boot times.
Now, my 5 yo gaming PC takes about 30 seconds to wake up to the password screen. While my Linux laptop takes 15 seconds to go from cold start to desktop.
Yeah, if I'm not using the computer I turn it off because why would I be wasting electricity? So it's the same for windows or linux to me. You do need to reboot your computer sometimes anyway. For linux it's when you update the kernel. For windows you just have to reboot for similar reasons or after you've spent a bunch of time trying to figure out why something isn't working and then in desperation "try turning it off and turning it back on again". Better to just turn it off when you're done using it and turn it on when you need it again and many of those issues are avoided completely.
So I turn off my computer when I'm not using it and I save power AND so the computer doesn't get glitchy. It doesn't take much time for the computer to boot up, so there's not much reason to not just turn it off when I'm not using it.
The problem is that by the time I have said that to them it's already to desktop. I cursed Myself by having an operating system that is fast and efficient and I also did not install 18 different applications that open at boot. So now I just feel left out from the group not waiting for my computer to finish booting :(
like when you drink water
100% of the time I drink water my mouth gets wet. I don't get it
Closing this ticket because it is a duplicate of #342 "My mouth is always wet when I drink water, please fix".
You shouldn't drink water at all. It's basically lethal. Once you drink water you'll have to pee. And that won't stop until you die. It's called The Piss of Death.
Iβm pretty sure my average uptime for a Linux machine is like 10x my Windows PCs because theyβre that much more stable.
That's how I turn mine off too.
You guys dont turn off your laptops?
Isn't it bad for the pc?
Oh my soul is too old lol
What you guys do instead?
I relate to this about 20 years or more ago.
!antimeme@sopuli.xyz
Oh. Now I get it. Like finally.
Had to learn about antimemes first. Some of these jokes⦠like seriously. You need to know the history of the whole joke to get the latest iteration.
