    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.

      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.

      When I finish what I want to do on my PC, I type “yay” 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

      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 😬

      I leave my work machine on constantly, but am very careful and shut down my home machine when I go to bed.

      It just feels wrong to leave it powered up.
