    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.

        I think a lot of people are still stuck in the HDD days where windows could take 15-20 mins for a cold boot.

        But I only sleep windows because I like to get game updates while I sleep.

        Look, I used to work with computers that would take 5 minutes to turn on. I’m done waiting for computers to boot, I want it to take the least time it can. If hibernation takes just 1 second off, I’m gonna use it.
