Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC? (lemmy.ca)

Every night, I put my computer to sleep. But should I be shutting it down every now and then? For example, maybe once a week or once a month?

Just curious to see this question answered from a Linux gamers' perspective.

Always gonna be someone that argues.

Hell, if I said Nuclear Bombs were dangerous, someone would come in and be all like " Yeah, well, you say that, but Tsutomu Yamaguchi survived two atomic bombs, so they cant be that dangerous!"
