It doesn’t really matter anymore. Computers last approx 4 years at the most. Keep it on 24/7 is no big deal.

This one was built in 1997, still going strong. I turn it off anytime I am not using it. And, I use it several times a day every day of the year.

If your computers are only lasting 4 years, you need to quit buying junk.

They are obsolete in 4 years, I have 8 year old hardware that works just fine. There was a stint around 2000 which brought a large number of bad capacitors to the motherboard market (thank the Koreans), but even that that didn't fully kill most motherboards.
