OK here's the thing yesterday I tried to install Ubuntu on my new computer but had to manually turn it off using the power button and I know its bad making a habit out of it but is it bad if I did around 3 times? I didn't want to but I had and I'm worried those 3 time will cause damage already is this true?

Modern hardware is build to endure sudden/unexpected power spikes/shutdowns. Of course, that doesn't imply that you should do that regualrly. Take care of your hardware

i dont think that would be problem till now..but dont do that in future as it might cause some serious problem to your OS and hardware as well.shuting down your pc safely enables the computer to go through all the necessary steps that are required before turning off the computer
