Hazarth95024yThat's maybe true for devs working on slow machines with long boot times.
My NVMe SSD booted Kubuntu can boot so fast that doing a restart just whenever doesn't feel any worse than launching IDEA or a browser with many tabs... I shutdown and restart my laptop frequently because there's no downside to it with a machine setup like this.
I keep my work Mac without restarting or shutting down though because it's an incredible pain for it to boot up everytime... However Mac has a good solution to this problem, because every 1-2 months it randomly crashes which restarts it! It's not the best design, but it's what I got -
Restart regularly....
Clearing men, resetting all env's, assuring upgrades work, pruning temp and so on.
I think it's more a weakness to not restart usually. Shutdown the PC, it needs it's sleep, too. -
Im just too lazy and paranoid to risk the reopening 45 tabs and 3 pdfs and xamp, putty, filezilla, ps with 3 different files and the java test opc connection from inellij to raspberry pi. So, restart is russian roulette here. Damn, I need one more pc, or two.

@blindXfish shutting off more often would help here. Regularly doing stuff helps remembering... XD
@3rdWorldPoison clear mem... of course I'm not the mafia..... -
hjk10157314y@Hazarth do it for updates but sleep/wake works better for usb-c detection and prevents all the authentication shit I have to go through for work (entering credentials 9 times, for some even 2 factor)
😎true for even a beginner
