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
0 hours.
It is currently off because I don’t leave it running overnight when I am not using it.
I don’t run any servers and leccy is expensive, they go off when I’m done using them!
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! 😴
7 days currently, 30 days on the previous boot. I had to open it up to install extra drives.
I cold-boot daily because fucking nvidia 👺
I can go weeks without rebooting if I want to Using a gtx 1080Ti with it. No idea why so many folks still have these big issues. Some minor issues sure.
seriously how do you guys all have Nvidia issues this is a gtx 1660 super
Doesn’t seem to matter what I do, the card simply refuses to go to sleep. And there’s no option to switch it off in the bios 😭
PC != server.
Why do you think it’s different?
A server needs to be available, a PC doesn’t. As long as your PC is not serving something 24/7.
Are you telling that to others or me?
I think you should tell that to others
There is no benefit in letting your PC run for days, its just waste of energy and bad behaviour.
When you hibernate, “uptime” counts it even though the computer is off, as it’s more of a “time since cold boot”.
So I turn off my computer every day, but have an uptime of weeks now.
Nice, so you are turning off your computer and pad your “uptime”. clap
23m,Short ik.
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.
It’s off right now.
Also, inxi? Better use
uptime, that command is actually available on all systems and literally exists to check uptime.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
Flashing standby light on my monitor drives me nuts let alone the bajillion standby LEDs that would be on in our lounge if we didn’t turn everything off at the wall every night.
You can get power strips that will sense the load on one outlet and shut all the others off if the load is below a certain amount. They are handy for shutting off those annoying standby LEDs automatically.
i’ve been shutting down linux desktops most every day lately, and turning them on only when i want to use one.
That was my family’s email server 5 months ago:
So roughly 2500 days today 🙂
As AOL guy once said
“You got mail”
Damnn what an uptime! Cheer to that!

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.
22:57:20 up 70 days, 16:04, 21 users, load average: 1.10, 1.14, 1.02Honestly if you were expecting a drive failure in three years, you probably have some other problem. The SSD in my desktop is clocking 7.3 years and I never shut down my machines except to reboot. On my servers, I have run used HDDs from ebay for up to ten years (only retired for upgrades). My NAS is currently running a mixture of used drives from Ebay and some refurbs from Amazon, and I don’t anticipate seeing any issues for at least a few more years.
even when your pc is on, the drives should power off when they haven’t been utilized for a while. i used to keep my machines running 24/7, and i mean not even letting them sleep, and i have never had a drive fail. since electricity prices started going up i let them autosuspend to save money. if you have mechanical hard drives, make sure they are mounted in a proper orientation. with SSDs, there are lots of manufacturers out there, so choose a reputable one.
