I use Ubuntu btw. Poweroff could use more write cycles on the SSD because it has to read everything at startup, but suspend has to keep supplying power to the RAM

    I use a laptop, so I iust put it to sleep. I only restart it when I do updates or when the system crashes. I also turn it off (when I remember to do so…) if I leave it unattended in untrustworthy environment due to encryption.

    I also have a mini PC, but I only turn it on when needed, which isn’t often since I haven’t really figured out what to use it for. It’s running Linux Mint headless, because Mint fits my laziness. I can use it via Tailscale, but I don’t really know what to do with it. So far it’s been mostly useful with OpenWebRX, SDR++ server which also offers compression unlike RTL_TCP as well as being able to use any SDR++ supported SDR, and I also intended to use Navidrome on it as well. My intention was to just download full albums on there, rather than picking out individual songs, but I still have the urge to put all of it on my phone.
