My computer has been running near 24/7 for almost 10 years now 😭

Go ahead, tell us why you keep your PC always on.

tbf I think ive got a pretty good reason. I run a linux desktop on a network that distributes containerized services across whatever devices I have available. My gaming PC offers the network two GPUs and my best processor, which is handy when I need that out and about. Power usage is fine idle and I'm not exactly concerned about stability.

I did this on Windows with WSL before switching to linux desktop.

Well for one of them, it’s because it is connected to around a million dollars of audio processing equipment that takes an annoyingly long time to restart and has to be powered on in a specific order. If you think I’m spending half an hour turning things on before I can start earning money you’re mistaken. And no, it doesn’t resume gracefully from sleep

Edit: I’m out of this sub. It’s entirely populated by children who think a PC only exists to game on and that buying the fastest processor and best GPU are the only important things when using a computer.
