This is my most needed feature in linux. I want zero ‘connect/disconnect’ sounds and if the laptop is asleep I don’t want it to wake up in the middle of the night for no reason.

I have an infinite supply of Windows laptops from work but I hate them with a burning passion and I can’t afford to replace my Macbook.

If someone can tell me what linux distro is the most silent and least annoying I will erase my entire Windows partition this weekend.

    Maybe I am missing something, but why not just shut down the machine for the night?

      I’ve changed some of my habits but it would be ideal if I wasn’t always trying to outfox the computer. It’s a laptop, so for me that means it is on on most of the time and plugged into a dock. I’m a night owl too so I end the day with lots of stuff open and plans to keep going in the morning, I’d rather not shut down. I also struggle with my mood and often little things that seem easy can feel like a lot. I like my IT to be low maintenance.
