I use Ubuntu btw. Poweroff could use more write cycles on the SSD because it has to read everything at startup, but suspend has to keep supplying power to the RAM

    I am trying to be more energy conscious so I’ve been turning mine off more as of late, but ya in the past I typically left my machine up for 7 - 14 days and only power off/reboot after updating.

      I remember older gaming forums where people would have their uptime in their post signatures.

      Edit to add: upon reflection it was all the more impressive because almost all gaming PCs were Windows.
