Is the joke that hibernate and sleep states never seem to work right?
No its an antimeme. The joke is that everybody gotta turn it on.
I still dont get it :(
First of all, our computers are always on. Those kernels don’t compile themselves, three times a day. Secondarily we could, at least, turn our machines on without having to install a dozen of updates before having to reboot again.
I knew there had to be a different reason for global warming. Linux users don’t turn off their computers, thats why!
If systems that run Linux were to power down, that’s it for almost all of the internet.
Sure, if you mean global data centers ;)
If people could just be kind and turn off the server when they leave.
If you close a tab, get a prompt; “it looks like you’re leaving this website, would you like to power down the server(s)?”
And all websites use wake-on-lan over the internet so the first person every day just starts the server and the last one turns off the lights!
That’s kinda how serverless works. You rent cpu time from a bigger cloud vendor and only spin up your servers when there is traffic.
My Ubuntu server has about 3 years of uptime right now, I don’t get this mémé
Ubuntu doesn’t count. It’s not a real Linux.
But by the time the lid is up to reach the power button, it’s already out of sleep and operational…
I remember when windows used to brag about incredibly fast boot times.
Now, my 5 yo gaming PC takes about 30 seconds to wake up to the password screen. While my Linux laptop takes 15 seconds to go from cold start to desktop.
Lucky you! Mine just crashes when I try to enter Sleep mode leaving both screens on and frozen, and nothing at all working.
Maybe try the kernel parameter
amd_iommu=offif you have an AMD CPU (and you’re talking about Linux and not Windows). I had the same problem and this fixed it for me.Hey, thanks! Unfortunately, I’m a very new Linux user (190 days according to fish), so I’ve no idea how or where I would set that parameter.
Yeah, if I’m not using the computer I turn it off because why would I be wasting electricity? So it’s the same for windows or linux to me. You do need to reboot your computer sometimes anyway. For linux it’s when you update the kernel. For windows you just have to reboot for similar reasons or after you’ve spent a bunch of time trying to figure out why something isn’t working and then in desperation “try turning it off and turning it back on again”. Better to just turn it off when you’re done using it and turn it on when you need it again and many of those issues are avoided completely.
So I turn off my computer when I’m not using it and I save power AND so the computer doesn’t get glitchy. It doesn’t take much time for the computer to boot up, so there’s not much reason to not just turn it off when I’m not using it.
For linux, its when you update the kernel.
May I introduce kexec
It doesn’t really do a lot for most people since you just skip UEFI initialization, which yeah does save a lot of time but you still need to restart all your processes
You guys dont turn off your laptops? Isn’t it bad for the pc? Oh my soul is too old lol
What you guys do instead?Walk into an average mega corp office that is full of windows desktops, after everyone has left. Every pc is still on.
We mandate that ours are left on for orchestration and maintenance purposes.
On like, suspend or hibernate?
I am afraid to put my lap on suspend overnight. Hibernate is actually usefull if you have hectic works on standby and have to shutdownJust regular suspend.
Uptime is 99.99%, gotta reboot sometimes.
Ksplice would like to have a word
?

ITT: linux users overthinking an anti-meme
Oh! I should turn off my laptop. Thx for the reminder
