the laptop that stays on my desk most of the time: about once every few weeks, whenever I need to update the kernel for security patches (which has been more often than I'd like it to be recently), or I update KDE and screenshots stop working until I restart it (at which point I may as well reboot and get kernel updates applied too)]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://berkeley.edu.pl/objects/4e8f4ef1-74b7-400e-a085-fd8d77df949fhttps://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://berkeley.edu.pl/objects/4e8f4ef1-74b7-400e-a085-fd8d77df949fThu, 21 May 2026 18:56:19 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to How often do y'all shut down your computers / laptops? on Mon, 18 May 2026 09:51:26 GMT]]>@hexaitos basically whenever it's not in use/won't be for a while. if we're going out, we'll turn it off, as well as when going to sleep and etc.

macOS: almost never. (Just sleep usually).

Every day when going to sleep. I don't want it to consume power when Idle, and standby on my system has been very unreliable, with random-ish wake-ups.

The laptops? Maybe once every week or so, usually after a big update with a new kernel or something

All the time. Laptop, sleep mode all the time (partly because I frequently open and close my laptop constantly and need to keep my programs and files open).

Also I heard somewhere that frequently powering off and on wears down the battery and Apple Silicon Macbooks tend to have stupidly impressive sleep battery life (roughly two weeks or so)

The funny thing is that I do reboot my internet facing servers quite often.
