I think a user logout->login, which at least in Ubuntu corresponds to a gdm restart nowadays, is a much leaner option than a cold reboot of the system. You only lose the opened windows, but all services like connection to internet, etc, are kept alive, so it's better than a reboot. > > > > When you buy a laptop on > > which you want to run linux, I really suggest you check hardware > > compatibility.
