      It wasnt an issue until windows 10 though. It feels like computers are a bit worse now, imo. For some reason, it’s now popular opinion that it’s unsafe to run a computer as long as you like. It’s one of the main reasons I’ll move to Linux… some day

        Not rebooting once in a while giving problems has been a thing since computers started using software.

          Linux servers often run for years before having to shut down. Linux can also update without restarting (except kernel updates), if you so wish. Needing to restart frequently is a Windows problem.

          I understand that, but I consider a forced restart a much bigger problem. You’re more than welcome to disagree
