@matuzalem My first Linux box (Red Hat, somewhere around 2000) ran for at least a year without needing a reboot. This was when WinNT servers were frequently configured to reboot every 24 hours "for stability."
My current set, a couple of laptops, is less stable than that old box. Enshittification is everywhere.
My first law of operating systems: To the degree that restarting a system is a normal way of fixing that system, that system is crap.
@ImagineThat In one of my jobs we setup a backup server and we only had to reboot it 5 years later. !
@ImagineThat This is why I've abandoned Linux for FreeBSD in my later years. FreeBSD is way more coherent and easier to maintain. I started using Linux when Slackware was just a source you needed to compile yourself.
