How often do you reboot your computer?

I power down everything including the inverter every night.

OS: Linux

My newer laptop (OpenBSD) lacks an S3 sleep state, so I hibernate it when not in use. My backup laptop (currently linux) suspends fine, so it almost never reboots. My aarch64 desktop (linux) is currently only at 17 days uptime, generally reboots only for kernel updates. My x86_64 desktop (linux) only turns on when I want to play games.

@jb1991 btw did u know there's a way to make polls on HN? :)

Mac, only when there's an update. Or I shut it down for travel in case it gets stolen (so nothing is left in memory).

I reboot my Macs whenever there is an update that requires a restart. Usually they have an uptime of weeks or months.

work: daily - windows 10 Home: Plex server - once a month or when there's a power outage - windows 10 Home: main machine - every few days - windows 11 Home: HA Server - power outages - linux home: PiHOle - power outages - Linux

Windows 10 home desktop, Windows 11 laptop: When there is an update that requires it

MacOS At least Once a month Windows machine every time there’s an update

I reboot my macOS machine about 10 times per year, probably less.

Only when there's a new update
