I'm afraid a lot of the hard reboot / reset concerns of 2022 are legacy. I just built this PC. It isn't from 1964 and it doesn't take up an entire city block. There is a "reset" button on my PC case (provided by the manufacturer) which connect to pins on my mother board (provided by the manufacturer).

My PC reboots to desktop in about 10-15 seconds. It isn't a hassle, it doesn't do damage.

Is it cheating? Kinda maybe? I used to rage power off my NES when I was a kid.

I'm not trying to force my views on anyone , just options.

If resetting your PC caused damage I think there would be a lot more accountability in line way before the guy that said on an internet forum "hey you don't need to deal with a corpse recovery if you don't want to"
