How long is your operation system running?

Linux - since the first kernel release I've ever touched.
Windows - depends on the update cycle, mostly 2 weeks up to 6 month.

And there goes another night with reconfiguring my windows session 🤬.

    Do you mean uptime?

    Debian: Usually a day for my desktop (I don't use it much), 4-6 weeks for my work lapppy.
    Macbook: I don't use it anymore, but 4-6 weeks was common there as well.

    Or do you mean how long until you replace the OS?
    Never replaced OSX; I replaced Win7 of six+ years with Debian like four years ago and haven't looked back.

    So just for reference, can you provide the address of your linux system? For science...

    Security patches are important people. Uptime shouldn't be the goal, application integrity should be.
