      Wait, do people shut down their computers when they’re done using them?

      I know I did on the desktop PC we had at home when I was a kid… But now the desktop doubles as a homeserver (and does that more than it does gaming lately) and the laptop just goes to sleep rather than shutting it down.

        I have a separate home server, so I don’t have a reason to not shut down my desktop PC. No reason for it to be using electricity while it’s doing nothing.

        I shut down my laptop because suspend/sleep support on Linux still isn’t great.
