I shut down my desktop PC when I need to do some work inside, which
seems to be less than once a year lately. I reboot it 2, maybe 3, times
per year, after installing updates.

I can't remember the last time I shut down my laptop. I use sleep or
hibernate, depending on the circumstances. Like the desktop, the laptop
gets rebooted 2-3 times a year.
