> I restart my computer every 3 months

Funny how habits stick, I still shut my primary desktop down at the end of every day because for all of my youth that was just what you did.

They boot so damn fast it doesn't really matter and I kinda like starting the day with a "fresh" desktop (same reason I clean my desk every night - starting work with a neat desk is great - I trash it through the day and repeat).

Do you rely on state saving things like resumed browser sessions, or just really start fresh every day?

I start fresh every day. Bookmarks and git are durable, browser sessions are transient.

I'd call you an inspiration but that would be giving myself too much credit because in reality I don't think I could even convince myself to try.

Fully fresh everyday, it’s in the history if I want whatever it was.

I’m still fairly ruthless about not having a tonne of tabs open (also gonna be an age thing, I predate tabbed web browsers and for a while after their introduction you’d either grind them to a halt or crash them entirely with too many tabs open and too many wasn’t many).

I admire this. I'm also old but fell on the "comically large number of tabs" side.
