PC != server.

Usually only as long as I play games. After that, I shut it off. Why?

• I run Bazzite, which updates itself in the background, but needs a restart to complete
• It boots in seconds, because modern hard drives are crazy fast
• The standby-LED is annoying when I sleep

My laptop is usually on for a week, but I restart it from time to time, for the same reasons, and because devices need some sleep too! 😴

I never turn it off it gets an occasional reset when updates need to be installed but that's about it

My work laptop has been up for 26 days, 17:24. My primary server at home has been online for 42 days, 21:27. Personal laptop - 45 days, 20:51. The primary server of my exocortex has been online and crunching away for 278 days, 19:48.

When I had big desktop and all, it was running for days/months. Now, I have a miniPC and I start it up Monday morning and shut if down Friday afternoon.

I don't run any servers and leccy is expensive, they go off when I'm done using them!

That was my family's email server 5 months ago:

So roughly 2500 days today 🙂

I cold-boot daily because fucking nvidia 👺

i've been shutting down linux desktops most every day lately, and turning them on only when i want to use one.

My laptop gets shut down every night, booted every morning. If I suspend it sometimes spontaneously wakes later, but boot is so fast anyway so it’s fine.

My server gets updated and rebooted weekly. I don’t bother checking CVE bulletins, I just upgrade weekly.

About 90 mins. I shut it down when i finish every and turn it off at the wall (fuskibg standby LEDs). I can go days without booting it back up. I use #LMDE

I'm convinced the reason all my drives used to fail is because I would leave the PC on, and only reboot for updates. Otherwise I would just put them to sleep. Three years later, I turn off the PC every night and haven't had a failed drive since.

23m,Short ik.

7 days currently, 30 days on the previous boot. I had to open it up to install extra drives.

On any command line you can likely just run a single letter command: w

I always shut it down every night, so usually not much more than 12 hours at best.

There was a period where I was testing my laptop's hibernation so I got uptime to around 30 days.

But now, The highest uptime I can reach is around 2-3 days if I forget to turn it off and leave it either plugged in or on a high battery so it lasts until the next day.

The TV/server has been up for 38 days, I think it got turned off by mistake last month

My laptop has been up for 123 days. It gets put in standby when it's not in use. I should probably reboot into a new kernel soon.
My desktop gets shut down at night because it's power hungry.
My server gets shut down about once a year for cleaning and hardware upgrades.

It depends. Sometimes I shut it down every night. Occasionally, I'll leave it in sleep mode for a few days.

I think the longest uptime I've had on anything I've owned is probably a month or so on a Raspberry Pi 4 server I used to have running with a personal Mediawiki instance (I still have the Pi, but if I ran a server in my dorm, I have the feeling someone might come to bite off my hand).

I have an Nvidia GPU and suspend/resume works about 20% of the time so my PC is shutdown every time I won't use it for a few hours. Don't use my personal computer that much so it doesn't really bother me a lot. My laptop is however long the battery lasts with the lid closed, I don't use it much so most times I pick it up it's dead.

Mine turned off yesterday for an update.

12 days and 17 hours. As another commenter pointed out, checked with uptime

34 days without booting? Are you using a Debian system and don't update often? You should, for security patches at least. I'm on an Arch based system and update every day. Sometimes there are updates that require a reboot, so all services are up to date. My system is often up for a few days, sometimes even for a week.

Small tip, logging out and in will have a semi clean environment without a full boot. That means the uptime won't reset.

I turn it off every night or if I'm away for many hours, so about 10 minutes right now.

I do have a Raspberry Pi that's been up 12 weeks, 5 days, 19 hours, 59 minutes. I believe there was a planned power outage when it was lasted turned off.

Thanks to Mint's updates... about 10 minutes.

I have all my devices set to reboot once weekly a few hours after daily scheduled updates. I probably don't need to do this, but I do. It's a habit I got in with scheduling router reboots, and then started extending it to other devices. It's nice to have some solid uptime, but I have three unbound DNS servers in sequence so they update and reboot on a staggered schedule so it's like they never go down.

You never know when the odd cosmic ray is gonna hit and flip yer bits.

I had about 300 days of uptime on my server but I did some hardware maintenance recently. I'm back up to like 20 but I need to do more stuff.

I did find a fun "bug" the other day with windows and how it tracks uptime. Since shutting down hibernates the kernel it doesn't treat it as time off. So when I fired up this surface I hadn't used in a long time it had 180 days of uptime.

As of today about 10 years not counting the odd driver restart

I have a drive that's roughly 13 years old, and has around 11 years 80 days of power on time if that says how much my computer is on.

I only restart it when windows updates start fucking with my networking or my audio drives entirely shit the bed.

55 days, 34 mins

Edit: my Mac mini (the torrent client) is 199 days.
