5 days agoThe misunderstanding seems to be between software and hardware. It is good to reboot Windows and some other operating systems because they accumulate errors and quirks. It is not good to powercycle your hardware, though. It increases wear.
I’m not on an OS that needs to be rebooted, I count my uptime in months.
I don’t want you to pick up a new anxiety about rebooting your PC, though. Components are built to last, generally speaking. Even if you powercycled your PC 5 times daily you’d most likely upgrade your hardware long before it wears out.
what?
