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.

    I shutdown every night because there’s a bug where it won’t wake up from sleep like 70% of the time. Easier to just shutdown than gamble and get annoyed.

    It cold boots in like 20 seconds if there were no updates, so not a huge deal.

      I’m reading through this thread and I’m surprised that there are actually quite a few of us who have trouble waking up their PCs.

      I may have solved mine by increasing my swapfile from 2GB to 16GB. So far it hasn’t been an issue for me for an entire week. It usually kicks in every 2-3 days.
