Man when was the last time you used Windows? The regular restart criticism hilariously outdated
My work computer has mandatory updates from IT like every 2 weeks but when I ran Windows on my own PC, I’d go months without restarting. I’ve restarted my months-old Fedora install more times than that
I have a company laptop with win11 that some days can’t go longer than 6 hours without a reboot because something stopped working. The ubuntu machine I use instead I restart once a month
I and strongly against windows and what microsoft is doing, But you are absolutely correct. If you stick to a build/update that’s not trying to brick your NVME, windows desktop uptime is very reasonable.
We’re not scoping on stability of thier updates, or the ability to update, just uptime on a run of the mill patched version, it goes as long as you’d need it to for most people.
Now, my linux desktop can go for very very long stretches without updates/reboots if I cared to do it. but windows 11 isn’t bad in the way that 95, 98, 2000 were. I’d even argue that win10 was more stable or at the very least had far less breaking issues.
I’ve had uptimes over 1000 days on some of my air gapped linux and BSD machines. Windows never liked going more than month or two, and now unless you turn off automatic updates you never get close to that wall.

Outing yourself as a Windows abstainer isn’t the worst thing, I guess.
Yeah but it’s like saying the iPhone sucks because it doesn’t have copy and paste lol
IPhones dont have copy and paste???
They didn’t at launch. It was a perk of Android at the time
It was bigger than copy/paste really, there were no contextual menus at all yet. So no place to stick the commands.
They do.
