… do people not turn their computers off when they’re done using them?
..."done"?
Sleep is important
only reason i turn my computer off is power draw and noise
I sure don't, my current record is 6 years (On Windows no less lmao)
I guess you must have Windows Update turned off, because I feel like I was being forced to restart on a weekly basis before finally moving to linux.
I don't restart unless I'm installing a kernel update or something else that requires it, it's nice never having to come back to "Let's finish setting up yyour PC" or whatever "Please use OneDrive" ad they've put in.
Yea I stop all updates, it's kept me from having to fight Copilot, OneDrive, edge reinstalling and all the other shit MS shoves in
xp or 7?
10 actually lol
you lucky duck
