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

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.

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

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

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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.

up 1 day, 8 hours, 2 minutes

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 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

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.

Uptime: 26d 17h 44m

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.

Recent 535.216.01 seems to improve that.

[–] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm on 565 haha, I think it's got to do with the kernel, I've seen people say it's solved with 6.13

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

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.

I turn mine off to save power when I'm not actively using it. I have a small 65 watt server that stays on all the time. Currently it has been up for 3 months or so.

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.

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.

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

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

55 days, 34 mins

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

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.

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

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

Last time it was off was during the summer holidays.
