Good idea to restart, not shut down, about once a week if you’re using Windows.
lol, I had my Linux PC running for over a year continuously once, with no issues. Only had to reboot because a power outage lasted longer than my UPS could keep it running.
It only clears things out on a restart for some reason.
Because Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, decided to turn ‘shut down’ into a sleep/hibernate mode instead, in order to deliver faster boot times. (Instead of, you know, actually making the OS faster and more efficient for faster boot times.)
Whenever I update the kernel I will need a restart eventually because it breaks the openvpn somehow and I’ve been too lazy to figure out how to actually fix it.
Still my Linux machine doesn’t nag me about restarts. The DE just pops up a notification one time saying it’s recommended.
It’s a version missmatch, that happens because of how linux handle updates, unless you either change kernel to a modified one that has a different behavior, you cannot fix it so it’s better to just restart after the kernel update

This is true for kernel updates in Linux as well.

Shut down is only a power saving mode for quick boot from what i recall. Restart will actually stop everything.
Yes. You can disable fast shutdown in the power settings.
Really? That’s silly. You would think the only difference is no power in between.
