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’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.
For suspend-to-ram (sleep) your swap file/partition/volume does not matter.
You can save power and time by using suspend-to-disk (hibernate). For this I recommend giving it 150% swap space compared to your RAM. During hibernate you can switch off your power supply completely to even save the standby power consumption of it. Maybe you know of power distributors with switch.
Waking from hibernate has almost the same “issues” as waking from sleep. I have zero issues with an AMD gpu.
