      I bought my iMac in March 2020… since then it’s been powered down maybe half a dozen times (a couple of those were power cuts) and rebooted (outside of macOS updates) maybe ten times.

      It just sits there reliably doing its thing and sucks little juice in power saving so 🤷🏻‍♂️

      This but non-sarcastically. I have a Mac mini and I don’t think I’ve ever touched the power button (except after plugging in of course, but then you’re already fiddling)

      Assuming the desktop takes the same power saving techniques from their laptops, there is no real reason to turn it off.
