From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have been going strong for 34 days and 5 hours.

You can check by running inxi in the command line or checking the CPU in Mission Center

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

I've never had a Windows machine that can stay on longer than ~3 days before developing weird behaviour so it's off right now until I get home.

I made Windows XP run for 40 days using a custom shell. Things got a bit weird, I ran defrag and memory optimization often.

My Arch system stays on until a firmware package needs an update. Then i cry and scream bc it's only been a month since the last one. Also I just updated a bunch of those, so my system has not been on long.

People leave their PC on constantly? I understand leaving servers running but i always turn my PC on in the morning, then off at night once im finished.

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).

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.

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.

I have a well-fenced server that I inherited 20 years ago and, but for power outages, has been in operation throughout. It survived a p2v but will not survive the coming v2v. #rhel4 #vmscare

I think my desktop has been on the past couple days because I've been too lazy to turn it off because I caught the flu and basically slept the past couple days away.

07:38:25 up 15 days, 15:54, 2 users, load average: 2,93, 2,24, 1,65

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

One or two of my computers have been on for about five years. The laptop I use mostly has been on for several months. But I'm a very teched-up person. I've got computers in various forms all over the place. Actually less nowadays compared to many years ago. I don't shut anything down because I've got various services in operation 24/7.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

I reboot mine when I'm bored

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Only a few days, maybe 12 if I had to guess. Im running with memory overcommit disabled and building a rust project with vscode and Firefox open will hang the kernel eventually. I caved to the kernel's expectations and set up a swap partition but it still dies.

I should say it's been on for probably 2 years straight ignoring reboots

Mine turned off yesterday for an update.

Last time it was off was during the summer holidays.
