I’m pretty sure my average uptime for a Linux machine is like 10x my Windows PCs because they’re that much more stable.
Or needing a f*ckinr reboot everytime an update hits the shitty fan (gpo enforced)
like when you drink water
100% of the time I drink water my mouth gets wet. I don’t get it
For me it’s always my stomach. So weird
Closing this ticket because it is a duplicate of #342 “My mouth is always wet when I drink water, please fix”.
You shouldn’t drink water at all. It’s basically lethal. Once you drink water you’ll have to pee. And that won’t stop until you die. It’s called The Piss of Death.
Oh! I should turn off my laptop. Thx for the reminder
Is the joke that hibernate and sleep states never seem to work right?
sleep and hibernate work fine on linux. I remember the olden days like 15 years ago where nothing of it worked. contrary to the stupid macos that was forced onto me which sleep means nothing and just keeps draining my bluetooth headphones battery anyway instead of turning off when I tell it to.
I still have issues on two separate machines. One won’t hibernate sometimes, I suspect the nvidia card. The other has a new-ish ethernet card, which doesn’t work after waking from hibernation (unless I reload the kernel module)
What’s the point of hibernation? You have so much stuff open in some exact state you can’t just turn off the computer?
It takes less time for me to boot fresh than to resume from hibernation (32GB of RAM)
Yes. I leave my laptop running in the office overnight, and at the end of the day I have a bunch of note documents, papers, code editors, and corresponding plots open and arranged among multiple monitors. It’s extremely annoying to re-do this setup the next day, so I leave it running. If hibernation worked reliably, I could turn the machine off at the end of the day.
No its an antimeme. The joke is that everybody gotta turn it on.
I still dont get it :(
That’s because it’s lame. It’s not you.
It’s lame in a funny way
No, it’s not. This isn’t anti jokes are funny now. People are really this bored I guess.
It’s okay if you don’t find it funny
I think this is making fun of the memes where it shows linux users going to (exaggerated) extremes to achieve something that is easy on Windows/other OS.
Mine works
You’d still need to turn it on if it’s in hibernate. Well, you might not need to push the power button, might have a laptop that can, while off, key off the lid switch. But the laptop’s still off when it’s hibernated.
my desktop and server get rebooted about once a month unless they get a new kernel or are pissing me off.
my laptop is dead about 50% of the time i turn it on.
dang, clicked respond on the wrong part of the thread, my b
It was mostly because of Nvidia drivers. So many Linux issues is just Nvidia related.
Bs, I have had so many sleep issues on laptops without Nvidia graphics cards.
The most recent issue I had was something inhibiting sleep that I couldn’t disable.
Before that it was being unable to decrypt the hibernate data on an encrypted disk.
Not bs just because you got lucky. :)
Despite OP insisting otherwise, I’m gonna assume you are correct. I use a lot of flavors of linux for a lot of things, but I don’t have it on a laptop (other than as an alt boot in case of a crash), so it seems logical to me that’s why this joke went over my head.
The problem is that by the time I have said that to them it’s already to desktop. I cursed Myself by having an operating system that is fast and efficient and I also did not install 18 different applications that open at boot. So now I just feel left out from the group not waiting for my computer to finish booting :(
*puter.
But I barely know’er
?

Uptime is 99.99%, gotta reboot sometimes.
Ksplice would like to have a word
Oh. Now I get it. Like finally.
Had to learn about antimemes first. Some of these jokes… like seriously. You need to know the history of the whole joke to get the latest iteration.
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
Have you livepatched the kernel though?
Ubuntu doesn’t count. It’s not a real Linux.
Do you use arch by the way?
No, heretic. I’m more the orthodox kind of defender of the faith.
Heretic?? Hahahahahahahaha!!!
Orthodox… I’m guessing vanilla Debian or Gentoo.
Right. Debian is the Roman Catholicism among the Linuces.
Does that make Ubuntu protestant?
TempleOS, I presume?
Good one. I didn’t even know there was such a thing.
Hmm I’m out of guesses then xD
ITT: linux users overthinking an anti-meme
Not so much nowadays, but we remember!
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?Gotta keep that uptime, leave it on
Walk into an average mega corp office that is full of windows desktops, after everyone has left. Every pc is still on.
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.
We mandate that ours are left on for orchestration and maintenance purposes.
That’s how I turn mine off too.
I relate to this about 20 years or more ago.
