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. When I'm not using my PC it's turned off. I only turn it on when I'm using it, and then turn it off when I'm done. Yes, this includes things like going onto short shopping trips.

The only times I've let my PC on when I'm not directly using it is when it's rendering something.
