I've always leave my computers running. My last PC has been on for a few years without being shut down. Any problem leaving Macs running all the time?

Did you calculate how much cash you wasted on the electricity bill?
Turn it off. Any Mac boots within your first coffee.
No, there's no problem leaving them running. I have a Mac mini that serves as my Plex server, as well as other computing duties. It's on 24/7 for several months at a time. Zero problems.I've always leave my computers running. My last PC has been on for a few years without being shut down. Any problem leaving Macs running all the time?
like a washing machine, electric stove, power tool, table lamp, tv, stereo, guitar amp, etc, etc, i turn it on when its being used and turned off when its not
To answer your question literally, no, there is no problem with leaving a Mini turned on indefinitely. In fact, the server version of the Mini is intended to be left on.
Personally though, I would just let the computer go to sleep when idle. It won't save that much on the electricity bill but the computer might as well be "off" when you're not using it. (And sleep mode is more or less the same as turning it off. Minimal power consumption.)
