Have you tried hibernating? It saves your ram and stuff as an image to your hard drive which allows you to shut down your computer but also boot up a lil faster.

Agreed. My computer can start up faster than it takes for some computers to turn their screen back on.

Aye. It boot up so quickly now I see no reason to keep the system running. Less wear and tear to boot.

I always heard turning it on and off causes more wear than just leaving it running.

Only if you're doing it rapidly. Turning it off and turning it back on an hour later doesn't really do anything.

I use to the sleep function every time I leave the house and at night. Sometimes my computer will turn itself back on, and so at that point I shut it down.

I do it when I'm away for like 4+ hours or so.

I don't want this thing to have a 100% duty cycle or anything, it should get breaks.
