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.

Generally-speaking — and there are some specific situations where this doesn’t apply — your computer cannot start using a new kernel unless you reboot the thing, and there will be kernel updates. And some of those are security updates. So, yeah, you should reboot at some point.
It’s not really a “your computer will perform more-slowly if you don’t reboot occasionally” concern, though.
