I had my Debian running (updated) for almost 10 years. The PC shut down only a few times, mostly when there were power outages. One day I was gifted a new SSD (I was still using HDD) so that day I decided I would install the new disk and make a fresh installation too. I guess I could have "cloned" the old HDD to the new SSD, but I was bitten a few times with those clone tools so I try not to use them when cloning different disks models. I honestly don't know how you can live with a PC that you need to format every month.
