Power & Lifecycle
What happens when your Mac sleeps or shuts down, when instances sit idle, and why distros share.
- 1Sleep, shutdown and batteryMSL freezes every instance before your Mac sleeps, shuts down, logs out or runs out of battery.
- 2Idle instancesInstances nobody's using suspend themselves, and wake the moment you need them.
- 3Shared disksInstances of the same distro share one disk — so only one of them can run at a time.
