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.

    My computer a 7900xtx and 7800x3d with a crap load of other stuff shoved in there. Idles around 100-150 watts of power with the screen off.

    100 watts isn’t a lot, but that’s like leaving a light bulb or two on from when I was a kid!

    Unless Im playing an idle game that needs it on just let it hibernate.
