I use NixOS and haven't restarted my machines in years. Always on. There are power outages once in a while but everything is set to restart when power is available so it comes back up.
- _kb 3mo agoIMO the power of NixOS is at the other extreme. Set it up with Impermanence (https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Impermanence https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Impermanence) and reboot often. Also worth flagging if you are only ever switching in new configs Kernel patches, firmware, or updates to systemd won’t apply until next boot.
- anon291 3mo agoI usually kexec into new kernels, but rarely, I do reboot for firmware updates. My system is rebooted sometimes due to power, and while it comes back just fine... there's no need to reboot a computer that works.
