Andy..... hilarious pal.... Just hilarious. You stick to working in the industry mate (probably one of the Tech Guys at PC World).

If mines not in use it's turned off, my SSD boots real fast when needed.

Saves electricity and helps keep the dust down inside.

But in the real world, things are never like this.
If you need proof of this, visit one of your "less IT savvy" friends house, and have a look at task manager on their PC - Then come back and tell me that PC wouldnt benefit from a re-boot !!

Sorry, I noticed you added this on.

What phone do you use?

I don't know much about Apple iPhone, but the reason I'm asking is because Android (which uses Linux) is a perfect example of an OS which fills the RAM heavily to speed up access to apps, launcher etc etc.

Throws your nonsense about rebooting out the window. Rebooting your phone doesn't speed it up, it slows it down, and everyone knows that. Just wondered if you switched off your phone every day

It uses a Linux kernel but the system is actually written in a form of Java and C, it should not be confused with a Linux distribution.

By the way all modern OS's make use of aggressive RAM caching rather than disk thrashing.

It does nothing of the sort.


If the OP had asked "do i need to reboot my phone every day" then the answer would have been a resounding "NO"


But that's not what they asked, is it ?
And an android OS sitting on an ARM system architecture, in a closed environment is about as far from this threads topic of discussion as you can get.


You are grasping at straws - But making yourself sound stupid in the process

Let's not confuse anything here. The Linux Kernel is Linux really. I'm not confusing Android with say Debian which is merely a different type of distro, and uses an entirely different set of components.

Android is still a Linux kernel though, and fundamentally I've done lower level kernel dev on both Desktop and Android and there are lots of similarities.

You're also right about RAM caching, and that's my point, I'm trying to make a point to Andy.
