[Poll] Do you keep Steam running in the background all the time? (strawpoll.com)

On machines where you start Steam manually in order to play a game, do you keep Steam running in the background after play session is over? Meaning if you no longer play any game for the moment, and just keep it running to be ready. Or do you close Steam, after the play session?

I mean like umm my PC is a steam machine so like. Generally always running even in desktop mode. It never really takes that much resources for things as tr heaviest things I do is gaming on steam anyways.

Then the question doesn't apply to your use case. This poll is aimed at those who have to install and start Steam or set it up to autostart themselves.
