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 turn my pc off when im not using it to save power; i thought this was normal.
Mine boots in 35s, according to
systemd-analyze critical-chainwith 4 of those seconds attributed to me typing in my password.I’m astounded anyone would leave their machine on overnight.
(At the same time, I’m quite happy to leave my phone in light sleep mode overnight with airplane mode on, so I clearly have some double-standards here)
Yeah same here, my current uptime is 3.5 hours lol
Inxi? Mission center? What are those things?
Just run uptime like a normal person.
Removed by mod
like 8 hours
I shut it down every day, start up times are fast enough that it doesn’t bother me
I only restart for kernel updates. I put my PC to sleep when I’m not using it.
My graphic driver’s get corrupted when my computer goes to sleep
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.
uptime 18:58 up 145 days, 4:57, 1 users, load averages: 6.19 4.70 5.30Uptime: 9 days, 13 hours, 36 minsIt’s off at the moment. I turn it off whenever I’m not using it for security reasons, and also just noise reasons so the fan doesn’t bother me. It boots relatively quickly so I’m unbothered.
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.
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.
Uptime: 26d 17h 44mup 1 day, 8 hours, 2 minutesAs of today about 10 years not counting the odd driver restart
