From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I only restart for kernel updates. I put my PC to sleep when I'm not using it.
This would be me, except the wife says it's "wasting energy." And rather than argue with her I've decided that in an effort for the dream of "happy wife, happy life" I'll just deal with sub 1min boot time
You might be able to turn off sleep indication (blinking power led) in bios btw:)
.......sunovabetch......I literally just facepalmed. Feel dumb for not having even considered looking into if I could do that. Well....guess papa has a weekend project....
Yeah but then you'd be lying to your wife in order to save 1 minute of boot time... Doesn't seem worth it.
.....damn you....this is also true.
My graphic driver's get corrupted when my computer goes to sleep
