how often do you reboot your computer?

any computer you have. or reinstantiate a cloud instance.

i reboot my Xubuntu 20.04 laptop about weekly. that's because i prefer to reboot before and after every system upgrade i do. i do use my system rather heavily at times with as many as 24 users, 18 at a time, typically. it has 16 GB RAM and could use some more, but all the slots are used now.

Possibly not as often as I should. The one that I'm on right now: Uptime: 43 days, 15:45:37

Generally at least once a week. Sometimes two.

Before Linux, when running UNIX, probably had to reboot at least once per week.
Now, with modern Linux have gone as long as 6 months, perhaps longer if the power stays on (I no longer use Uninterruptible Power Supply).
Usually ~ 30 days, no specific schedule.
However, I do use bleach bit to clean out clutter on a daily basis, which helps quite a bit.

I always reboot after a Kernel-Update. Arch-Linux updates the kernel frequently, so in one week I sometimes restart twice. Between the reboots, I use suspend to RAM.

My dedicated server:

root@miranda ~ # uptime
12:46:10 up 81 days, 14:22, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Need to restart, because of a Kernel Update. Thanks for reminding me :-D

04:06:24 up 519 days, 2:09, 3 users, load average: 3.73, 4.32, 4.47

i'm finding that after a week of heavy use (10 users, 100 workspaces, 40 active terminals, Linux starts to get sluggish and the disk activity light on solid. rebooting then doing the same thing it is fly through it.
