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.

Not shut down, restart.

But with such fast boot times, I just turn it off when I'm not using it.
