One Year's Uptime
TODAY is "the day". My main laptop exceeded 1 year's uptime (07:05:35 up 365 days, 12:50, 41 users, load average: 0.37, 0.45, 0.57) and the other laptops have decent uptime too. My second laptop is about to exceed 300 days (07:08:27 up 299 days, 22:20, 2 users, load average: 7.63, 7.32, 7.25) and Rianne's main laptop is at over 7 months (7:09:19 up 225 days, 19:07, 6 users, load average: 1.23, 0.86, 1.10).
Over the years GNU/Linux got more stable and resilient. Catastrophic Linux holes (such as remotely exploitable root level problems) don't happen often and so the main reason for downtime is an outage. Reboots that load the latest kernel are typically needed if catastrophic Linux holes are patched (which affect laptops, not servers with many users).
As of this week, my main laptop's battery is officially and perpetually at 0 (it cannot charge anymore; it was still at 1% some days ago), so if there is an outage, downtime follows for sure. To be fair, it's a 2016 laptop and batteries don't typically last a decade. I will remove the battery, probably before next boot. Will this laptop reach an uptime of 2 years? Well, depends on whether we'll have outages. █
