@navi I feel like the only funky thing I'd do for bootup is custom kernel logo (CONFIG_LOGO) but given my machines tend to have an uptime of a month, not really worth it.
@lanodan i got into the habit of powering off every night, and booting up every morning
initially it was because i was too lazy to figure out why setting up hibernation on btrfs was failing, but then it kinda made me feel a bit better every morning because, i'd start from a fresh session, mails and irc messages would raise notify, and i could take things one at a time
and then there's also the steam deck which runs gentoo and will be rebooted quite often ~w~
