I struggle with this for my personal computer. The TV-computer combo shuts off the monitor (triggers the tv to shut off when there is no input) after an hour. An hour after that it’s suspended, works well.

My personal computer though, sometimes I shut off the monitor, most of the time I let it run for the day completely powered. I have yet to set any type of shutdown or standby because typically I use it more than I do my tv (work, gaming, videos, etc on the comp). I know there’s some power conservation I need to consider for motivation, I have no security concern atm with my standard main account and everything private is layered so inaccessible.

tl;dr

what’s everyone else’s setup like for when they walk away from the computer?

    I dont get why hibernate isn’t a more popular feature, I use it extensively as I hate having to set everything back up on each restart.

    Its also one of my biggest issues with using Linux as it’s usually broken there.

      I also don’t understand why Windows hides it now and you have to dig around to re enable it.

        My understanding is that it’s a difficult feature to support and they can’t guarantee it works well. That’s the only explanation I’ve ever seen, cause to me it’s almost critical for working on a laptop.
