View Poll Results: How often do you reboot your Linux desktop?
My primary personal desktop (which is actually a laptop) once per day.
Others as needed.
I used to leave things running for longer periods as a hardware saving measure. But nowdays I try to shutdown anything that I know won't be used for more than couple of hours as a power saving measure - I can see the difference it makes in $$ and the silicon is much more robust than it used to be IMO!
Distribution: Debian Wheezy, Jessie, Sid/Experimental, playing with LFS.

Laptop and machine connected to bedroom TV everyday.
My i7 Haswell gets turned off when I am not at home which can be a couple times a week to a couple times a month.
Once MATE fixes the shutdown issue it has I'll shut it down everyday cause electricity is expensive.
I have been using linux about 3 years now, with different distros, and i had to reboot my computer for a problem like 6 times in total.
Thats the cool of this.

This is India. Power outages are common all around the year everyday. I mostly shutdown the Desktop everyday when I'm done working because the UPS doesn't last more than 30 minutes. Laptop though mostly goes to sleep daily.
