That would be no problem, unless your electricity is unreliable and you don't have a UPS. I rarely use the power button on any of my PCs or Macs, except the one old PC that can't do S3 sleep anymore (crashes on wake).

Are y'all not using sleep mode? Also the Apple M-cpus are extremely power efficient so leaving it on without sleep mode is a perfectly fine option too.

Power efficient if all your software agrees with it. I use an M3 at work and it dies in a couple hours during sleep.

s0ix is the same shit show on all three major platforms
