I find this funny because this feels like the opposite of my experience: my Linux laptop, Windows laptop, and Windows desktop usually have an uptime of a month+ with a sleep and resume schedule. Mac on the other hand is the one that is most unreliable and most flakey for me. I have to hard reset it regularly after it becomes completely unusable. At least when I am deciding to restart Windows/Linux it's because I want to pick up an update instead of it just being unusable.
- prewett 5y agoMy Mac laptops typically have uptimes of months (85 days, currently). However, I am still on Mojave, and I do have 32 GB of RAM. I do routinely encounter two problems. When switching desktops while have full-screen video the cursor frequently disappears; the solution is to move up a ways until the cursor is surely at the menubar and then click, which will restore the cursor to visibility. The other problem is that audio occasionally stops working (one symptom is that pressing play seems to work but the play time never advances, and of course there is no sound). The solution here is `sudo killall -9 coreaudiod`. My Windows NUC, on the other other hand, seems to reboot itself within a week, but usually is unusable long before that because it won't wake the monitor up after sleep. And even though I disabled sleep, it still seems to not be able to wake the monitor up.
