This Reboot-to-Fix mindset encroaches on other domains as well. My car had a weird issue when it would't pair to the phone, auto-technician: "reboot!" Someone here say that I'm probably a *nix admin vs a Windows user, and that's true, but every time I try to do adminsy things on a Windows box, the tools are just not there, or the interface to the tool is like controls in an alien spaceship. I find myself completely and hopelessly lost. Trying to find stderr, stdout, logging, grepping, finding, the tool to work with PKI certs, all fearsome in their inscrutability. Are there Windows kernel old-timers who can help me with the learning curve? No. Most Windows admins don't have a habit of digging deep because that's not the culture, because the tools weren't/aren't there. And reboot fixes most things on Windows.

alias reboot='echo "This is not Windows!"'

Real Linux admins know how to invoke the real 'reboot' command.

With the growing ubiquity of the linux port of svchost.exe(systemd), nested hypervisors, containerization, et al. Rebooting (where feasible) has already become a front line option.
