No it's not harmful, but if you want to fully shutdown it and not lose your tabs, there're extensions and alternative to them is F5 Each tab and go to sleep, once you wake up look up the history

Not with an SSD.

I just cycled my computer for the first time in 67 days. Up until I restarted it, it was running no different than it is now.

An SSD eliminates a lot of issues.

I try not to keep it on as my rooms is often quite hot, however if you're in a cool room you should be fine. Just make sure your case vents are clean.

This can definitely cause issues if you keep the PC on for a prolong amount of time. Nothing specific but I do know it can cause Internet connectivity issues. Overheating is a concern as well, I used to keep my pc on for a week at a time and it really started to suffer performance wise.

Just shut it off, I wouldn't leave my computer on sleep.

I never turn mine off, from what I've noticed, well if you're using HDDs... is that frequent turning off and on of the drives can cause them to die faster than if leaving them on, then again you can also wear out other components by leaving it on.

I never had any problems with leaving mine on though and I've had this PC for 6 years.

I never turn my computer off, always leave mine on sleep though every night but I wouldn't advise it because it fucked mine up with the internet sometimes it connects/sometimes it doesn't.

I have arround 100 tabs open and 30 unsaved documents open when i go to sleep. because i am lazy i just turn my monitors off.. I leave my pc usually on for 1 / 2 months then i do a restart just because the ram starts to freak when being on for a long period.. Havn't had to replace a part since i build it 4 years ago.. so i would say no worries 🤝

Holy crap 2 months? I'd try restarting it more often lol.

Nah, i honestly don't care.. I replace the parts if something breaks.. Its cheaper for me to do that than turning it on and off everyday 🤣

It's okay to leave it on sleep but you should shut it off once in a while and maybe save your tabs to open in your chrome settings.

I leave my Open BSD Gnome desktop on all the time i think it took it 4 months to crash? but that was because i was installing a package and it caused it to crash.

i don't see a reason why you can't leave it online even windows as long as it doesn't over heat otherwise i don't see a problem why not. but windows is designed to be restarted often so i wish you good luck getting 4 months without any issues.
