I shut everything down at the end of the day. Takes <30 seconds to boot up so it's not really an issue

The horror is not how long booting takes, but rather if it'll work

Ahh, fair. I've been running a fedora atomic distro for a while so that's not really somebing I worry about anymore.

I've been patching and bouncing hundreds of machines automatically. The first decade, I was concerned and then merely observant. It's been so reliable that I just stopped being concerned for the second decade. The last 5 years have been very occasionally (1%) unreliable, thanks to Lennart's cancer, but not enough that I need to give it more than a glance. EL10 is a bit of a shitshow, so maybe the slow trend since el7 is continuing.
