I installed a DE on my server, I just disable sddm unless I need to do something in a web browser on that machine. I haven’t needed to yet, but I have it just in case.
Very true. I used to poweroff my laptop every day, but now, after getting into servers, I sometimes leave my laptop up overnight (even though the laptop isn’t the server)
I’ve got a super ignorant question; Is the situation with session saving on Linux desktop environments with default settings finally locked in enough that you literally can’t tell when a reboot has happened once the session is restored? Including user space apps? _Redacted_OS has been so good at this for so long that I literally don’t think about uptime on my daily driver anymore.
I’m on KDE and I’m not doing anything special regarding this, and for me the answer to this question “somewhat”. I specifically hate when apps are starting by themselves so they don’t do for me and I’m happy about it. But when I turn on most apps that I use they open in the state I closed them in.
no, at least not if you’re doing anything with poorly supported hardware with it’s own configuration tools that reset when it loses power (it is powered when the computer is on but sometimes stays powered through reboots)
Why? I already reboot daily because everything gets updated so much. (I’m into that)
When you get into servers, uptime becomes your drug
Firefox on a server?
I think some servers have an actual DE and all. If I remember correctly, I’ve seen centos with gnome.

It really shouldn’t though. Reboot your servers
I run Ubuntu Server on my server, but on my computer I want updates as soon as humanly possible.

Why waste energy and lifetime of a machine so it sits there and does nothing?
