Root797475yDo 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. -
Desktop at home (Ubuntu): Rarely more than a day.
Laptop at work (Ubuntu): No more than eight hours.
Servers (all Debian): Years. -
My laptop usually has an active uptime of a week or so, i mostly just put it to sleep.

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 🤬.
