This comment is baffling...
If I get it right, it's saying that Linux is intentionally bad at shutdown / hibernation because that's how its users want it. And users want it because they are better users than other users: they are "professionals", whose computers never sleep.
So, if you are using an OS that actually works as expected, that's just proof that you're an amateur.
(and let's ignore the mention of the lid being closed. Because that would be devastating to this argument)
- ACow_Adonis 6y agoI didn't say Linux is intentionally bad at hibernation/shutdown: I said maybe it's not a priority in terms of resources/focus. At no point did I say users want it to be bad at shutdown/hibernation. I said for my job/use-case, I spend most of my time trying to stop the computer from sleeping. I posted this because the comment I was responding to said that 99% of users wanted the computer to sleep on lid-shut, and I thought I'd contribute to point out that's the opposite of my use case (indeed, I pretty much want the computer to never sleep on lid-shut). And i run linux as the primary OS on pretty much all my computers. A lot of linux users are also probably coming from a background where computers didn't sleep/shutdown very often. I didn't use the word amateur. I didn't use the word professional. I didn't mention anything about using an OS that works as expected. I listed my background and use case. I didn't say anything about any users being better than others. I do think, based on all that, you may have some sensitivities that made you interpret things in a particular light.
