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 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.

It’s healthier for the hardware to just leave it running then turning it off and on all the time.
We ain’t in the days of mechanical moving parts anymore. Idle time is way less of a problem then power ons.
Fans and pumps don’t have any moving parts any longer?
Ramping up or down degrades your fans and pumps faster than keeping them at a low constant RPM, so yes, idle beats shutting down.
Ideally they’d be set to not be running unless they’re actively needed.
I’m talking about my health, not the machine’s health.
you are replaceable, the machine is not
Lol
Praise the Omnissiah!
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.
