I have been going strong for 34 days and 5 hours.
You can check by running inxi in the command line or checking the CPU in Mission Center
Inxi? Mission center? What are those things?
Just run uptime like a normal person.
tbf, inxi is surprisingly powerful (dunno if that’s the word… Insightful maybe?).
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.
mines off as we speak. I always turn it off at night.
like 8 hours
I shut it down every day, start up times are fast enough that it doesn’t bother me
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
Mine is off at the moment.
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.
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 only restart for kernel updates. I put my PC to sleep when I’m not using it.
My graphic driver’s get corrupted when my computer goes to sleep
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
You might be able to turn off sleep indication (blinking power led) in bios btw:)
…sunovabetch…I literally just facepalmed. Feel dumb for not having even considered looking into if I could do that. Well…guess papa has a weekend project…
Yeah but then you’d be lying to your wife in order to save 1 minute of boot time…
…damn you…this is also true.
One or two of my computers have been on for about five years. The laptop I use mostly has been on for several months. But I’m a very teched-up person. I’ve got computers in various forms all over the place. Actually less nowadays compared to many years ago. I don’t shut anything down because I’ve got various services in operation 24/7.
Today I learned the inxi command does so much more than I thought. I’ve only used it to check on my RAM once
It’s like a daedra, it’s been on, has always been on, and will be on forever
Kstuff but on the desktop. Am I right? Either that or SSI the desktop so I can shunt processes over for the patch run and not have to close sessions.
Uptime: 9 days, 13 hours, 36 minsI made Windows XP run for 40 days using a custom shell. Things got a bit weird, I ran defrag and memory optimization often.
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.
