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.

It is like sleep, but does not need any power. You need to do regular restarts after major updates (new kernel and stuff), though.
