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 server is the only thing that's on 24/7. My and my partner's PCs shut down while we're not using them. It takes like 10 seconds, maybe, to boot up.
