You do put your PC to sleep without closing your programs !?","comments":[{"id":46430098,"user":"super256","time":1767074972,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

Yes! That's exactly what the sleep mode is for.","comments":[{"id":46459742,"user":"d-lisp","time":1767312753,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

I am not an anxious person. But that thing, "waking up sleeping computer with programs freezed in it", makes me anxious.

I just can't...","comments":[{"id":46460278,"user":"super256","time":1767316811,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

You better not buy mobile devices a la steam deck or laptops then.","comments":[{"id":46464227,"user":"d-lisp","time":1767357926,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

You're right, I

    sudo shutdown now\n\n

\nEvery time before closing the lid of my laptop...","comments":[{"id":46466478,"user":"super256","time":1767371702,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

Is there a rationale behind it, or do you just feel that way? I have never run into issues with this, and real coding bugs like the one in GOG Galaxy, where play time =time_process_end - time_process_start instead of continously sending heartbeats like steam, are probably a bigger issue.","comments":[{"id":46469842,"user":"d-lisp","time":1767390745,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

I think I fear system instability and its consequent (probable) problems.

Sleep does a lot of things, a lot I don't necessarily understand, all the OS layers are stressed at once, and with them a whole lot of other things, bith software and hardware related. Are all the drivers of your system trustworthy, are all the running applications trustworthy ? Are we sure no data loss will occur ? Will you lose audio, wifi, display or excessive battery because of a race condition or an error of some sort in an element of the whole involved stack ?

Most of the time everything is fine, or is it ? Maybe your computer will hit kernel panic after two hours or so, and you will have hard time figuring the real cause and origin.

tldr; I think it scares me because it increase the probability for the system to surprise crash at a very crucial time (while compiling something, in between two saves of a text buffer, during a write to disk...)","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":5,"url":"item?id=46469842"}],"comments_count":1,"level":4,"url":"item?id=46466478"}],"comments_count":2,"level":3,"url":"item?id=46464227"}],"comments_count":3,"level":2,"url":"item?id=46460278"}],"comments_count":4,"level":1,"url":"item?id=46459742"}],"comments_count":5,"level":0,"url":"item?id=46430098"}],"comments_count":6,"url":"item?id=46425486"}
