I've heard this a few times from people and the really baffling part of it for me is how many people still shut down their computers these days. Maybe I'm a special case, but for laptops I close the lid and it sleeps until I need it again and for desktops, I get up and walk away and it goes to sleep until I need it again. The only time it shuts down or restarts is when an update requires it.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoTell me about it! The only time I even restart my machine is that Tuesday every month when the updates are forced, and then its forced when I come to the office on Wednesday since I postponed from the day before.
- susi22 13y agoI've used Win7 for years and I always use "WinKey+RightArrow+RightArrow" and then I either press 'r', 's' or sleep or restart or whatever I want (it's super quick onece you're used to it). I don't want my lid to do anything. I have SSH session open and don't want them to kill (and don't start about screen...). Also, my power button would've just shut down linux since the Win8 was in a VM.
- stinos 13y agobaffling, really? Here's the other side: electricity isn't free.. Ok it's not that expensive, but I know enough people that shhut it down just for that extra bit of peace of mind knowing they are not wasting energy. Or as some might even say, in the extreme, ruining the planet even more :P
