EXCUSE ME? I ONLY KNOW LIKE 5 WORDS IN THAT SENTENCE

“I think x is the best solution. I don’t know a reason not to use it.”
“I think x is the best solution; I don’t know a reason not to use it.”
Both are fine. The semicolon is sometimes an artistic choice. I use it to … make the space between the two sentences shorter? So I would read it as:
“I think x is the best solution. *beat/pause* I don’t know a reason not to use it.”
“I think x is the best solution I don’t know a reason not to use it.”
