Ask HN: Do you switch off your Laptop? Ever?

• genby 11y ago
  I just turn my notebook into sleep.
• jsegura 11y ago
  Never. I have a Macbook air and I only close it without powering it off.
• DanBC 11y ago
  Yes, whenever I'm not using it. From boot menu to booted is only about 6 seconds (gradually tweaking that to be faster).

    >gradually tweaking that to be faster Do elaborate please!

      systemd-analyze blame Gives me a list of stuff and how long it takes them to start. For this machine I don't need most of them, so it's a case of then systemctl mask SERVICENAME Or systemctl disable SERVICENAME

  Never

  Every night or while traveling
• 6d0debc071 11y ago
  Yes. I only use a laptop when work requires me to travel. The vast majority of its life it spends turned off and locked up in my desk.
• mod 11y ago
  I reboot from windows to linux, but essentially never turn it off unless I have very good reason--traveling, for instance.
• growthmaster1 11y ago
  Nope

  Maybe around once a month, on a MacBook Air.
