Wait up, is it true that I shouldnt be shutting down my PC at the end of the day but instead just put it to sleep?
heard something about turning it on and off fucks with hardware.
Is power consumption significant when just put to sleep. like how much we talking?

Something like ten watts.
It doesn't hurt the hardware no matter what you do, off, hibernate, sleep, or leave it on.

I used my previous PC for 6-7 years, shut it down every time I could and it worked fine till the end. I guess you could say that after 5 years my motherboard flipped me off (I was a shitter back then and I don't know what happened) and this could happen, but it was cheap and shouldn't happen on a decent PC.
sleep is better
power cycling is no-no

Just use the one that you want more. I put my laptop on sleep because I ain't have it plugged in while it's sleeping
