I power down everything including the inverter every night.

OS: Linux

OpenBSD guy. I shut down everything I'm not actively using to avoid wear and tear and wasting electricity.

My newer laptop (OpenBSD) lacks an S3 sleep state, so I hibernate it when not in use. My backup laptop (currently linux) suspends fine, so it almost never reboots. My aarch64 desktop (linux) is currently only at 17 days uptime, generally reboots only for kernel updates. My x86_64 desktop (linux) only turns on when I want to play games.

@jb1991 btw did u know there's a way to make polls on HN? :)

Mac, only when there's an update. Or I shut it down for travel in case it gets stolen (so nothing is left in memory).

I reboot my Macs whenever there is an update that requires a restart. Usually they have an uptime of weeks or months.
