So I guess my question is if I'm just running a personal Linux machine at home, what are the advantages or disadvantages to keeping it on, or shutting down during non-use?

(I might in the near future use one machine as a home server to share files, so in that case see an advantage to possibly keeping it on 24/7)

I just shutdown a linux machine with 3169 days of uptime!

It had userland processes that have been actively running since 2013!

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
