    me too. i see no reason not to shut it down, unless boot time takes way too long (you dont have an ssd), you use windows (always takes too long), or you have a bunch of apps open and don’t want to lose the workflow.

    though i just have to shutdown anyway because my pc is right under a couple of roof leaks and it might rain while i’m sleeping or not at home

      honest question, because i use windows and i shut down every day. is 20 seconds really “too long” for a full boot up?

        boot hardly takes any time at all. it’s all the programs on the computer that take forever to start.

            … that just means your computer is useless when you start it up. And anyway I’m talking about things like your browser with previous tabs or your IDE.
