Why? This isn't 1998 anymore.
Well unless you have my shitty ass Thinkpad that can't reliably go into S0 standby to save it's life.
I have a desktop and there’s no reason for it to constantly be drawing power. It boots fast enough even with fast boot disabled that it’s not an issue for me.
I leave my work laptop on, but it lives on my desk at work. Not my power bill not my problem. I still have to regularly reboot it because windows can’t update without reboots.
