I'm not trying to call you out personally as I've said and thought similarly in the past but truly what an indictment on the state of software that your whole desktop freezing once a month is considered ok and running consistently

I mean most people accepted multiple crashes or system freezes per day back in the Windows 3 and MacOS 7 era.

I'm still someone who powers off his computer when I'm done with it for the day so I almost never get crashes or freezes.
