People who shutdown their desktop computer everytime they're done using it are so bizarre to me. Why? What are you trying to protect? I only reboot when updates are needed and otherwise my computer is on 24/7. Been doing this since ~2004 and have never had an issue.

Edit: I'm not saying you're wrong if you shutdown everytime. I'm just saying it's weird to me because it hasn't been necessary since the mid 2000's or probably earlier.

Nah, you just didn't notice the issues, but they are definitely there.

Anyway, my computer boots in less than 5 seconds. Why wouldn't I just shut it down when I am done?

Do you also not bother closing your books when you go do something else?

Nope, no issues in all these years.
