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.

Laptop sleeps all the time. "Shutdown" when the battery runs out. PC is basically never shutdown. <-- Gets rebooted every now and then. Server is basically never shutdown. <-- Gets rebooted every now and then.
