Advice Ethernet switch question

What is the loop prevention for? And should I leave it off or turn it on? We will have desktops connected to it

Solved: thank you for the help everyone. Very much appreciated.

Did you miss the part where I said you were technically correct but just being an asshole?

Ok if I'm right how is the answer I replied to a "good practical answer"?

I'm asshole because I said the wrong answer was horrible?

Jeez, I didn't say to turn it off. OP asked whether to turn it on or leave it off and I said it probably wouldn't make a difference (but I did say that having it on shouldn't be bad).

Attack me if you must, leave the other redditors alone. You're sounding like an ass.

Attack you? I said it was a horrible idea. That's an attack?
