I turn mine off to save power when I'm not actively using it. I have a small 65 watt server that stays on all the time. Currently it has been up for 3 months or so.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

About 90 mins. I shut it down when i finish every and turn it off at the wall (fuskibg standby LEDs). I can go days without booting it back up. I use #LMDE
Flashing standby light on my monitor drives me nuts let alone the bajillion standby LEDs that would be on in our lounge if we didn't turn everything off at the wall every night.
You can get power strips that will sense the load on one outlet and shut all the others off if the load is below a certain amount. They are handy for shutting off those annoying standby LEDs automatically.
I reboot mine when I'm bored
I cold-boot daily because fucking nvidia 👺
seriously how do you guys all have Nvidia issues this is a gtx 1660 super
Doesn't seem to matter what I do, the card simply refuses to go to sleep. And there's no option to switch it off in the bios 😭

I can go weeks without rebooting if I want to Using a gtx 1080Ti with it. No idea why so many folks still have these big issues. Some minor issues sure.
On any command line you can likely just run a single letter command: w
I made Windows XP run for 40 days using a custom shell. Things got a bit weird, I ran defrag and memory optimization often.
My laptop gets shut down every night, booted every morning. If I suspend it sometimes spontaneously wakes later, but boot is so fast anyway so it’s fine.
My server gets updated and rebooted weekly. I don’t bother checking CVE bulletins, I just upgrade weekly.
I've never had a Windows machine that can stay on longer than ~3 days before developing weird behaviour so it's off right now until I get home.
up 1 day, 8 hours, 2 minutes
When I had big desktop and all, it was running for days/months. Now, I have a miniPC and I start it up Monday morning and shut if down Friday afternoon.
I always shut it down every night, so usually not much more than 12 hours at best.

The TV/server has been up for 38 days, I think it got turned off by mistake last month
7 days currently, 30 days on the previous boot. I had to open it up to install extra drives.
I think my desktop has been on the past couple days because I've been too lazy to turn it off because I caught the flu and basically slept the past couple days away.
My laptop has been up for 123 days. It gets put in standby when it's not in use. I should probably reboot into a new kernel soon.
My desktop gets shut down at night because it's power hungry.
My server gets shut down about once a year for cleaning and hardware upgrades.
23m,Short ik.
There was a period where I was testing my laptop's hibernation so I got uptime to around 30 days.
But now, The highest uptime I can reach is around 2-3 days if I forget to turn it off and leave it either plugged in or on a high battery so it lasts until the next day.
Last time it was off was during the summer holidays.

12 days and 17 hours. As another commenter pointed out, checked with uptime

Only a few days, maybe 12 if I had to guess. Im running with memory overcommit disabled and building a rust project with vscode and Firefox open will hang the kernel eventually. I caved to the kernel's expectations and set up a swap partition but it still dies.
I should say it's been on for probably 2 years straight ignoring reboots
I never turn it off it gets an occasional reset when updates need to be installed but that's about it
